Good to remember!!

As temperatures continue to rise, don't forget to take extra precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of your pets.

Hot weather can pose big risks, especially due to the heat radiating from the ground, which can burn your pet's paws. To protect your pets, check the ground temperature before walks by placing the back of your hand on it for 5-10 seconds; if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws.

Walk pets early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are cooler, and always ensure they have access to fresh, cool water. Provide shade if they spend time outdoors and limit exercise to avoid overexertion.

Look for signs of overheating, such as excessive panting or drooling, and never leave pets in cars, as temperatures inside can soar rapidly. Protective gear like pet booties and cooling vests can also help.

Our pets rely on us to keep them safe, and by taking these precautions, we can ensure they stay healthy and comfortable during the hot weather.🥰

Baby kitty in the tree. I believe (semi-feral) momma gave birth in a hole up in the tree. There were 4 up there yesterday. Today I think the others left the tree and went with mom. This one is terrified and desperate. Crying scared. I think it is too scared to climb down and so alone with the others gone. Hot and thirsty I'm sure. Breaking my heart.

At first they'd only mew if we were far away from the tree. Now he locks eyes on us and screams. Any ideas?? I'm afraid it will die up there.

Update: The baby is safe and sound. She was recued by Tara Tigges. She flagged down someone with a ladder and climbed right up after it! Grabbed the baby before it disappeared further up the tree and came out unscathed, both of them!!

As the temperature rises owners of fur bearing breeds begin to realize their pets are hot. Mistakenly, many think that clipping these breeds down will help them be cooler. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
This time of year it's common to see these breeds 'blowing coat', meaning that massive amounts of undercoat are shed out at once. However, clipping is not the answer. Instead your professional groomer can remove that crazy amount of undercoat and help keep it in check year round.
This allows the coat to properly perform it's job of keeping the body cooler. The attached undercoat works like insulation keeping cooler air near the body while the guard coat reflects heat away. But when loose undercoat is not properly removed it impedes the coat from doing it's task.
Professional groomers provide so much more than a haircut. Talk to your groomer about booking an appointment for your fur bearing breed to keep them comfortable year round!

What is one word you can't say angry?! BUBBLES! Daycare allows your dog to have new experiences like bubble parties that help them live their best and enriched life!

Do you work from home and need a break from your four-legged coworkers? Have them join us in daycare! Even if it is just a half-day, they will spend time with other fur covered friends and be tired by time they get home - letting you work and get that to-do list done!

Dog Firework Safety🎆🎇 Hiding Place: give them a comfortable place to hide (like a kennel with a blanket over top and bed inside)🛏 Stay Indoors: Board your dog or have a pet sitter stay with them if you know your dog is fearful and you will not be home. 🏠 Sound Proofing: shut all doors and windows to muffle noises.🪟 Play music: have some tunes on a radio by their hiding spot to cover some of the noise.🎵 Calming meds or vitamins: ask you vet for anxiety meds or use a calming peanut butter or treat.💊 Clean the space: Check if there are any firework debris in your yard before letting out your dog. 🧹 Have a safe and happy 4th of July!

Comment the first photo you have of your dog (got you day or puppy) ⬇️

which do you prefer to do with your pup? Indoor or outdoor play?

Don't forget to reserve your dog for boarding over the 4th of July! These spots fill up fast so it is a good idea to call early! 🇺🇸🐾

Have your dog look their best and visit us here at The Dog S’paw! 🐾

Shaking off the week and we are ready for the looooong weekend! 🛁✨🐾 We will see your fluffy friends again on Tuesday when we open back up for grooming, daycare, and boarding pickup or drop off.

Have your dog meet new friends at DAYCARE! In daycare we watch dogs make new friends both with our attendants and other pups! by socializing they are able to come home tired and ready for a long nap! Schedule your pup for daycare today by giving us a call! ( all dogs over 6 months must be spayed or neutered - all dogs must be vaccinated ) Read more information about daycare and what your pup will expense during their day on our website! https://thedogspaw.wixsite.com/thedogspaw/video

8 TIP AND TRICKS to keep your pup COOL in the summer! 1. Provide plenty of fresh and cool drinking water! Refresh and provide new water often. 2. Let them play in water! Use pools, sprinklers, and more! 3. Ensure there is a shady spot for them to sit and rest! Sunshades, tarps, pop-up canopies and more allow for shaded areas. 4. Provide a cooling mat or wet towel lay on! 5. Use a cooling collar or vest! 6. Avoid the midday heat! Try planning outside fun early in the morning or in the evening. 7. Avoid outside exercise on hot days! Try something new inside like hide and seek with their favorite you! 8. NEVER leave your dog in a hot car! Leave the air conditioning on when you and/or your dog is in a parked car. Don't park in direct sunlight. Watch for signs of heatstroke such as disorientation, panting, salivating, and discomfort.

Have your pup join us for spring inspired paw print art!! 🐾🌷 call to schedule your pup for a full day of daycare to have them come home with a fun spring inspired print!

We have bath openings this week! Call to get your pup in!! 🛁🧼🧽

Regular bathing and grooming offer multiple benefits for your dog! The first being better hygiene and smell. A good cleaning can remove built-up dead skin allowing for an overall better smelling pup. Another benefit is the early detection of skin and health issues. Our groomers become a second family to your dog and may be able to notice bumps and abnormalities during the appointment. Regular grooming also promotes a healthy coat which leads to less shedding. Removing buildup on the fur can help spread the natural oils making it appear shinier. Another benefit is reducing matts, these can be painful for dogs because they pull on the skin. Regular brushing and grooming will eliminate the chances of matts developing (along with at-home brushing in between appointments) #groomerlife #doggroomersofinstagram #groomer #doggroomerlife #doggroomers #petstylist #doggroomingsalon #petgrooming #doggroominglife #doggroomer #dogwalker #dogslover #dogumgunu #dogpark #doga #dogstyle #dogsarefamily #doginstagram #dogum #dogloversofinstagram
