Our pets are part of the family and we bring them along wherever we go. It's crucial to prioritize safety as our furry family members rely on us to make the best decisions!
When planning any journey, remember to consider your pet's comfort and well-being since you choose the trip, not them.
Tips # 1
If you're noticing how scorching it is outside, remember that if the air is hot, the ground is even hotter. Consider how your dogs' feet are feeling in this heat. The hot ground has the potential to burn your dog's sensitive paws. As a groomer, I've had numerous instances in the summer where I've had to inform pet parents that their furry friend's feet have been burned. They express genuine concern and affection for their dogs, and I understand their love for their pets. Always bear in mind that if it's too hot for your feet, it's definitely too hot for your dog's paws.
Tips # 2
It absolutely takes 72 hours for your dog to become dehydrated. Remember, this is not a survival retreat, so make sure to bring water and a bowl for your furry friend. Amazon offers a wide range of excellent choices to choose from.
Tips # 3
Did you know that dogs can get sunburned too? Dogs with fair skin or those with white, light, or ginger-colored fur, as well as thin-coated breeds like Boxers, Greyhounds, Pit Bulls, and Dalmatians, are particularly susceptible. Here's a fun fact: there is sunscreen available specifically for dogs! You can easily order it on your next Amazon purchase.
Tips # 4
Car seats for pets are not just a trend - they are a necessity. In the unfortunate event of a car accident, your pet could be thrown out of the vehicle or injure a passenger. While riding in the back of a truck may seem nostalgic, the reality is that with the increased number of cars on the road and higher speeds, it is simply unsafe. Ensure your pet's safety by installing appropriate dog crates.
Maintaining your pet's coat is crucial for their well-being. Mats in their fur prevent proper sweating, leaving them vulnerable to skin issues and discomfort. Double-coated dogs are particularly prone to heatstroke and must be regularly de-shed to prevent this risk.
