Why Your Furry Friends Love Pools: The Pet-Friendly Side of Pool Ownership

At Avree Custom Pools, we know your pool isn’t just for you—it’s for the whole family. And yes, that includes the furry members too! Whether you’ve got a playful pup or a curious cat, pets often find pools just as enjoyable as people do. Here’s why pets love pools and how your custom pool can be the perfect hangout for them.

1. Cooling Off in Style

Just like us, pets can feel the heat during those hot Texas summers. A dip in the pool is the ultimate way for dogs (and some brave cats!) to cool down and beat the sun. Swimming helps regulate their body temperature while keeping them safe from overheating.

2. Endless Playtime

Dogs love to chase, fetch, and splash around—and what better playground than a pool? Toss a floating toy in the water, and you’ll see why pets think pools are the best backyard feature ever. Swimming also provides great exercise that keeps them happy and healthy.

3. Stress Relief and Bonding

Pools aren’t just fun—they’re therapeutic. Many pets find the water soothing, and swimming is easy on the joints, making it great for older dogs too. Plus, when you’re in the pool with them, it creates unforgettable bonding moments.

4. Built-In Adventure

For pets, a pool is an exciting new world. The water, the movement, the fun—it’s all part of the adventure. With a custom-built pool from Avree, you can even include pet-friendly features like shallow ledges or tanning shelves where your furry friend can safely rest and relax.

5. A Family-Friendly Backyard

Your pool is more than just a place to swim—it’s a lifestyle. With your pets joining in, the backyard becomes a place where the whole family can gather, play, and make memories. After all, they’re part of the family too!

A Pool for Every Member of the Family

At Avree Custom Pools, we design pools with everyone in mind—including your pets. From shallow splash areas to safe, easy entry points, we’ll help you create a pool that’s both beautiful and pet-friendly. Because nothing says home like seeing your furry friend’s tail wagging by the water’s edge.
