It’s time to hit the water! While you’re making a splash, don’t forget to keep these important tips in mind.

-Check conditions: Water temperature that is too cold for you to get in may be too cold for your pet; avoid prolonged exposure to cold water.

-Be aware of any rip currents, algal blooms, and other hazards that can make swimming dangerous.

-Be diligent and don’t let your pup out of your sight while swimming.

-Take breaks: Swimming is a great exercise, but it can become strenuous for dogs. Your pup will need a swimming break just like humans need them. Take breaks frequently to rest and soak up the sun.

Studies show that cockatiels that are out of their cages for about 8 hours a day are happier and healthier, and less likely to develop problems with plucking. How do you make sure your cockatiel gets enough out-of-cage time? Share your best tips in the comments! 👇

If it’s hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk, you probably don’t want to go for a walk anyway. Neither does your dog! 🥵 Avoid those sizzling sidewalks and keep their precious paws protected!
Before heading out for a walk, test the pavement with your hand. If it’s too hot for you, it's too hot for them! Early morning or evening walks are the way to go during summer scorchers. 🌇 And if you’re still not sure, check out our chart to see when it's best to skip the walk.
Trust us, please do NOT go for that walk if it’s too hot. Stay cool, stay indoors, and enjoy the air conditioning! 🫠
