“Summer is the best time of the year to spend more time outdoors
with your pet because you are not confined by the weather,”
says Reed. “Whether you are playing with your pet in the backyard
or taking your dog for a long walk in the park, it is important
to be thoroughly prepared. Keeping your pet clean and healthy
is a challenge during the summer season.”
Charlotte recommends eight sizzling tips to keep your pet
safe in the summer’s heat.
-
Keep your pet cool. Provide fresh drinking water, leave
air conditioners and fans on low temperatures, and give
outdoor pets proper shelters to the protect them from
the summer heat.
-
Maintain monthly Heartworm, flea and tick control programs.
Once a month medications and applications are effective
in fighting parasites.
-
Prevent him from wandering off. Make sure fences and
gates are in good repair and that holes are filled in
the garden. Do not allow pets to roam around the neighborhood
possibly scaring or biting children, getting hit by a
car or becoming injured from wild animals.
-
Replace faulty equipment. Throw away worn leashes and
collars because it only takes one time for your pet to
become frighten. With one pull, he can snap his lead and
run away from you.
-
Update identification tags. Address and telephone numbers
should be legible should your pet become lost.
-
Maintain grooming habits in the hot weather. Brush debris
and dirt out of your canine or feline’s coat on regular
basis. Regular grooming will help reduce pollutants such
as dander and keep your home clean for allergy suffers.
-
Warm weather means more outdoor activity, be careful.
Watch out for glass, chicken bones, rat poison and leaking
automotive coolant. In case of emergency, have a first
aid kit accessible with your vet’s telephone number. If
your pet ingests something on the street, call your vet
immediately.
-
Never leave your pet alone. In the car, she could suffer
heat stroke. By the pool, she could drown. Left out in
the yard or outside a store, she could be stolen. In a
room with an open window, she could escape or fall to
her death.
