🌧️🐾 KEEP YOUR FURBABIES SAFE THIS WET WEATHER! 🐶🐱💙
Rainy days might be cosy for us, but they can bring a few extra challenges for our furry friends! Here are some simple ways to keep your pets happy, healthy and safe during the wet weather.
🐾 1. KEEP THEM WARM AND DRY! 🛁
Dry your pets thoroughly after walks, especially their paws, tummy and ears. Give them a warm, cosy bed away from damp areas so they can relax in comfort.
🐾 2. MAKE INDOOR TIME FUN! 🎾
Keep boredom at bay with puzzle toys, gentle play, training games and plenty of cuddles when the weather keeps you inside!
🐾 3. WATCH OUT ON WALKS! 🐕🦺
Avoid flooded areas, fast-flowing water and slippery surfaces. Keep your dog on a lead near drains and waterways, and never let them drink floodwater.
🐾 4. KEEP YOUR CATS SAFE! 🐈
Wet weather can make roads dangerous and hide potential hazards. Provide your feline friends with a warm hiding spot, fresh water, a clean litter tray and somewhere cosy to snooze.
🐾 5. DON’T FORGET FLEA AND TICK PROTECTION! 🦟
Fleas and ticks can still be a problem in wet weather. Keep your pet’s parasite prevention up to date and check their coat regularly.
⛈️ 6. STORM SAFETY IS IMPORTANT!
Keep pets indoors during storms, secure gates and fences, make sure their microchip details are current, and provide a quiet, safe place if they become frightened by thunder.
💙 A LITTLE EXTRA CARE GOES A LONG WAY!
If your pet is shivering uncontrollably, struggling to breathe or unusually weak, contact your vet promptly. If they may have swallowed contaminated floodwater, seek veterinary advice.
🐾 Let’s keep our beloved furbabies safe, snug and healthy this rainy season!
