At we approach the 4th of July the ISVMA has provided a few summer pet tips!
🎆Flea and Tick check: Make sure to get your pet in for heart worm tests and keep them on year round flea and tick prevention.
🎆Hot pavement, hot paws: If you won't walk barefoot on a hot sidewalk or street, it's too hot for your pet! Stroll through the cooler grass, if possible. Take walks early in the morning or later in evening, limit intense exercise, and take more frequent breaks.
🎆Stay cool and hydrated:For some of our furrier friends consider a cooler summer shave to avoids overheating. When outside for extended periods of time, make sure all pets have shelter from the hot sun and make sure they have access to clean drinking water.
🎆Pets in hot cars: Triple digit temperatures rise in a parked, non-air-conditioned vehicle in minutes … even with windows rolled down! Please leave your pet home on hot days.
