Extra caution & even lifejackets encouraged to keep pets safe from rushing water as Utah snowpack turns to runoff
"There’s a lot of force behind that kind of volume of water, and people just don’t understand," said Clint Mecham, Salt Lake County's Director of Emergency Management."If you don’t have a need to be around that water, just flat stay away. It’s very cold, there’s a lot of debris in it, you might be standing on a bank that’s undercut because of the flow, and you just don’t know if you’re going to go in and we just don’t want to see anyone hurt.
But the couple added that they've been on high alert after hearing about at least two dogs who were swept away in rushing water at local creeks this past week. The Holms said just last week, they were in the very same campground walking along the water with their dog in knee-high snow.At Paw Paws Dogwash & Boutique, co-owner Conner Gempeler said a lifejacket is a good option for pets when they're near any kind of water — adding that it could"absolutely" save their life. The dog boutique just received a new shipment of lifejackets for dogs ranging in sizes from extra-extra-small to extra-large.
