Summer Safety Tips
As summer heats up, pet owners must ensure their pets' safety and comfort. Here are key tips to keep in mind:
Hydration and Shade
Always provide fresh, cool water and ample shade to prevent dehydration and heatstroke.
Avoiding Hot Surfaces
Hot pavement, asphalt, and sand can burn your pet’s paws. Walk them during cooler times of the day, like early morning or late evening.
Never Leave Pets in Parked Cars
Temperatures in parked cars can quickly become deadly, even with windows cracked. Leave pets at home during errands.
Sunscreen and Protective Clothing
Pets can get sunburned. Apply pet-safe sunscreen on vulnerable areas and consider lightweight clothing for added protection.
Watch Out for Heatstroke
Symptoms include excessive panting, drooling, and lethargy. Move your pet to a cool area, offer water, and contact a vet immediately if you suspect heatstroke.
Pool and Water Safety
Supervise pets around water. Not all pets are good swimmers. Use a pet life jacket and rinse off chlorine or salt after swimming.
Pest Protection
Summer brings fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes. Use preventative treatments and check your pet regularly for pests.
By following these tips, pet owners can ensure their pets stay safe and healthy during the summer months.
