Pet Safety Tips for Summer 🐕

7 months ago•By Ella Lee

Keep Pets Cool
Always provide plenty of shade and fresh water. Place frozen treats or ice cubes in bowls on extra-hot days.
Walk at the Right Time
Walk dogs early morning or later in the evening. Pavement can get extremely hot — if you can’t hold your hand on it comfortably, it’s too hot for paws.
BBQ Safety
Avoid giving pets cooked bones, onions, garlic, grapes, chocolate, or alcohol — all common summer hazards.
Firework Season Prep
New Year’s fireworks can cause anxiety for many pets. Create a quiet, safe space indoors and keep pets inside during peak times.
