Tips to keep your dog safe on the coast on #NationalPetDay 👇

🐾 Keep them on a lead near cliffs
🐾 If needed, call 999/112 for the Coastguard
🐾 Call them to safe areas if possible
🐾 Don't risk your life to rescue them

We bet Stella never expected a lift quite like this one!

After the excitement of our 200th anniversary celebrations and Easter Fair the Whitstable #volunteer crew continues its intensive training programme to make sure the crew is ready 24/7.

If you enter the water unexpectedly remember to #FloatToLive 👇

- Tilt your head back, submerging your ears
- Relax and try to breathe normally
- Move your hands to help you stay afloat
- It’s OK if your legs sink, we all float differently
