Summer Safety: How To Keep Your Pooch Safe
Hello Pampered Pooch Parents!
As summer's heat intensifies, let's ensure our furry friends stay safe. At Pampered Pooch Events, we prioritize your pets' well-being. Here are vital tips for keeping your canine companion comfortable during scorching days:
1. Hydration is Key:
Like us, dogs need water. Carry a bottle and collapsible bowl, offering water after play or walks.
2. Watch the Pavement:
Hot pavement burns paws. Walk during cooler hours or test with your hand first.
3. Find Shade:
Dogs struggle with heat. Create shade with an umbrella or find a tree for outdoor breaks.
4. Cool Down:
Set up a kiddie pool or sprinkler for water play. Rub a damp cloth on their belly, paws, and ears.
5. Adjust Exercise:
Morning and evening are cooler for play or walks. Modify routines in hot parts of the day.
6. Grooming Helps:
Brushing removes excess fur, improving airflow. Avoid shaving too close, preventing sunburn.
7. Avoid Hot Cars:
Never leave dogs in parked cars. Heatstroke can happen fast.
8. Overheating Signs:
Watch for panting, drooling, vomiting, or lethargy. Move to cooler areas, offer water, and consult a vet if needed.
Remember, a bit of caution goes far. Pampered Pooch Events cares for your pets, and we hope these tips let you both enjoy summer safely.
Stay positive and keep wagging those tails!
