☀️ 🐾 June Pet Care Tips! 🐾☀️
With the sunshine finally making an appearance, summer is officially on the way!
To keep your furry, feathered, or scaled family members safe, happy, and healthy this month, here are our top pet tips for June:
🐾 1. The 5-Second Pavement Test
As the pavement heats up, it can easily burn sensitive paw pads. Before heading out for a walk, place the back of your hand flat on the pavement for 5 seconds. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s definitely too hot for their paws! Stick to early morning or late evening walks when things have cooled down.
🐛 2. Top Up Parasite Prevention
Flea and tick season is in full swing. If your pets are spending more time exploring the grass or joining you on summer hikes, make sure they are fully up to date with their monthly preventative treatments.
💧 3. Keep Hydration Fresh & Fun
Pets can overheat quickly. Keep multiple water bowls around the house and garden, and drop a few ice cubes in to keep it chilled. For a fun summer treat, you can even freeze some pet-safe fruits (like blueberries or strawberries) or dog-friendly bone broth into ice cube trays!
🚗 4. Not Even For a Minute!
Never leave your pet inside a parked car, even with the windows cracked or parked in the shade. On a mild day, temperatures inside a vehicle can skyrocket to dangerous levels in just a few minutes. If you’re running errands, it’s always safest to leave them relaxing at home in a cool room.
