Nithya Thyagaragan asked:
We live near the sea and we take our Labrador Retriever to swim twice a week in the sea. Will it harm his skin in any way?

No, but I would hose him off afterwards so the salt does not remain on his coat for too long.

I wish I had someone to take me to swim in the sea twice a week. Just rinse him off afterward.

Yes, his fur will fall out. It happened to mine, and he only swam in the ocean once a week

Just like humans, the water will not harm their skin. After they play in the ocean wash/hose them off and brush any excess water off. Make sure you bathe them regularly.

No, he will be fine, just bath him well to get the salt out of his fur.
