🐾 Happy Monday from Jack's Fetch and Go! 🐾
Hey everyone,
We hope you and your furry friends enjoyed the weekend! As we head into the summer months, we wanted to take a moment to talk about something very important for all dog owners: heat safety. 🌞🐶
Summer Heat Tips for Your Pups 🌡️
With the temperatures rising, it’s crucial to keep our beloved pets safe and comfortable. Here are a few tips to ensure your dogs stay cool and healthy during the hot weather:
1. Hydration is Key 💧
Always carry water and a portable bowl on walks. Make sure your pup has access to fresh water at all times.
2. Avoid Hot Pavement 🛣️
If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws! Try to walk during the cooler parts of the day—early morning or late evening.
3. Provide Shade and Breaks 🌳
Take frequent breaks in shaded areas. Let your dog rest and cool down, especially if they’re panting heavily or showing signs of overheating.
4. Know the Signs of Heatstroke 🚨
Watch for symptoms like excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, and uncoordinated movements. If you notice any of these, get your dog to a cool place and contact a vet immediately.
5. Fun Alternatives Indoors 🏠
On extremely hot days, consider indoor play or mental stimulation activities to keep your dog active without the risk of overheating.
At Jack's Fetch and Go, we’re committed to the well-being of your pets. Our walks are designed with their safety in mind, and we always prioritise keeping them cool and comfortable.
Stay cool, stay safe, and enjoy your walks! If you need any tips or want to schedule a walk, feel free to message us. Your pets are our top priority. 🐕❤️
Happy adventures,
Jack Hunter & the Fetch and Go Team
