Pets cannot float on their own. Most pets are not naturally buoyant, meaning they don’t have the ability to remain afloat in water. Some exceptions might include:
- Fish: As aquatic animals, fish are adapted to life underwater and can indeed drift with currents.
- Amphibians: Frogs, toads, and salamanders may be able to float briefly before becoming buoyant due to their air-filled bodies or gas bladders.
However, it’s important to note that pets generally don’t have the physical characteristics necessary for sustained floating. If you’re looking into specific ways to keep your pet safe in water, please consult with a veterinarian or animal expert!
