Pet pooped in pool

[scubadiva]

Help, my old dog got in pool and pooped. What do I do now?

If the pet is in healthy condition, the easiest way is to shock the pool to a high reading of chlorine level, then let the chlorine level come down to a safe level on its own in a few days. Absolutely no swimming until then.

You say the pet is old, and if the pet is sick, has a disease, play it safe, drain the pool and if you have a plaster finish, get the surface sanitized with chlorine. Don't take shortcuts with disease, it must be killed thoroughly.

The CDC has a PDF sheet on 'poo in the pool' for more information.

the site mention somewhere on the site that the pool enclosure system will prevent dog or cat go into the pool.
