Summer brings unique challenges for dog safety. Let's dive into how to keep your pooch cool and safe.
Ensure your dog always has access to fresh water to prevent dehydration.
Pavements can get hot in summer and burn your dog's paws. Walk your dog early morning or late evening when it's cooler.
Cars can heat up quickly, leading to heatstroke or even death. Never leave your dog in a parked car.
Know the signs of heatstroke: heavy panting, lethargy, drooling. If suspected, cool your dog down and contact a vet immediately.
If your dog is outdoors, ensure they have a shaded area to escape the sun.
Not all dogs are natural swimmers. Monitor your dog around pools and consider a dog life jacket.
Summer is peak flea and tick season. Ensure your dog's preventive treatments are up-to-date.
Keep your dog safe this summer with these tips. Remember, if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for your dog!
