The dog days of summer are in full gear, and they come with some safety concerns, especially for your furry four-legged friends. According to the AVMA, “the temperature inside your car can rise almost 20 F in just 10 minutes." https://t.co/VSSNRf9OIZ

It's #nationalicecreamday ! Avoid Those Cute Eyes & Giving Them Food Scraps 👀 Those cute eyes are powerful, but don't let it get the best of you. Just look away while you eat and ask guests not to give them scraps. Okay... Maybe 1 LICK of vanilla won't kill them :)

Watch out for these things to keep your pets healthy this summer! Don’t take bug bites or stings lightly. Watch out for heatstroke. Check for sunburns or burned paw pads from walking on sidewalks/streets. Keep your pets that are outside or allowed to venture outside well hydrated

Fireworks are loud & scary, causing dogs & cats to instinctively run. Veterinarians recommend keeping your pets in a familiar room indoors & play calming 🎶 to reduce the sound of fireworks. You can also purchase calming collars, calming treats, and snuggle your pet.

4. Make water more readily available. Have several 💦 bowls throughout the house. Senior pets in particular are less inclined to travel to water sources if they are in joint or arthritis pain.
5. Ice cubes! They are a great treat for almost all pets- including rabbits! #petlife

Did you know July is Pet Hydration Month?
If you are concerned that your pet isn't drinking enough water, always consult with your veterinarian. Simple bloodwork can tell a lot about hydration status and organ function such as the kidneys.
Some things you can do to increase 1/3

2. Invest in a pet drinking fountain or bubbler system. Pets are more inclined to drink fresh 💦.
3. Wash bowls daily and do not use plastic bowls. Bacteria from pets' mouths grows in the 💦 and can create a film on bowl surfaces or hide in the textured surfaces of plastic bowls

As summer heats up, beware of hot pavements! According to Dr. Erin Greenwoods, a veterinarian in Arizona, the concrete and asphalt are usually 20 to 30 degrees hotter than the actual temperature outside. Dog paws can burn in 60 seconds on an 80°F day. https://t.co/lZ3FE0DD6X
