Last year in the U.S. over 10,000 family pets drowned needlessly in swimming pools and walled lakes, along with countless millions of other creatures - raccoons, possums, squirrels, frogs, chipmunks, mice, etc.
THE PROBLEM: When a pet or other animal jumps or falls in a pool, walled lake or pond, they have no trouble swimming for a while but, without a way out, they eventually drown from exhaustion brought on by panic or fatigue. Though drownings occur by day, they occur most often at night leaving the pool owner or lakefront resident with that cruel surprise of a dead pet or animal floating in their pool or skimmer basket.

Training a Pet to Use Your Super Skamper-Ramp®
Just a note about pets and animal safety. While wild animals seem to know instinctively how to use Super Skamper-Ramp in an emergency, some of our more domesticated pets, like dogs and ferrets, might need to be shown how the ramp can help them when in peril.
We suggest you take your pet into the pool with you and help them see how they can climb out of the pool using your Super Skamper-Ramp. This is facilitated by putting one of their favorite treats on the ramp near the pool edge and another on the pool deck, so they go up the ramp trying to get at the treat. It’s fun to take them in for a second demonstration and see how well they have learned the drill during their first visit.
