Pet care 4th of July holiday weekend safety tips & summer July 4th holiday cookout hazards to be aware of for all of you pet owners & your pets!😊🇺🇸🐾🐾🎆🎇

The fourth of July is near and what better way to celebrate than with fireworks and sparklers. Although it may not be expected, dogs will chew on and eat fireworks and may become anxious due to the unexpected, loud sound. When ingested dogs can have GI upset, obstruction, and even damage to their red blood cells. It’s best to keep your furry friends inside while enjoying the pyrotechnics!

“Signs That the Pavement Is Too Hot
Alright, so we know hot pavement is risky business. But how can you tell if it’s too hot?

The 5-Second Rule: Here’s a quick and simple test: Place the back of your hand on the pavement. If you can’t keep it there for 5 seconds, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws. Simple as that!”

Keep your furry friend safe! Learn essential tips to gauge when pavement temperatures put your dog's paws at risk in our latest blog.

For all my wonderful pet care clients, the hot and humid 2024 summer months are here!
So, here are some pet care helpful Summer Hot Weather tips & hints to keep your furry safe this summer, for your dog’s safety of avoiding burning their paws on hot concrete, as watching for signs/symptoms of overheating and your dog getting sick with heatstroke in these extreme hot summer temps - (seek/call your veterinarian if your dog is showing symptoms/signs of overheating heatstroke)!
When the summer weather conditions are extremely hot and humid 75 degrees or higher- the concrete/asphalt is 125 degrees! Which is very unsafe & way too hot for your dog’s paws and their own body, to be outside on regular outdoor walks on roads & sidewalks trails!🌤️😳😟😓🐾🐾🦮

Instead, plan to have your dog alternate staying inside, where it’s cooler or have your dog enjoy being outside in their shaded, grassy backyard with lots of extra water & getting cooled/misted off with a garden hose (if they enjoy it) and their dog kiddie pool with water for backyard outdoor cooling off activities, during extreme peak hot weather temps too hot for their regular walk!

Then also, check weather’s hourly and/or daily as needed, to try to aim to plan for your furry kid’s outdoor walks early in the grass morning or much later in evening timeframes, when neighborhood road or park or neighborhood’s sidewalk trail’s asphalt is cooler and safer - to avoid peak warm & humid extreme summer weather conditions, when the summer weather will be hopefully cooler and safer 60s or so cooler! So overall, you & your dog stay happy, safe, cool/hydrated, comfortable outside on your walks! (Don’t forgot to make sure to bring
along your pet’s travel insulated leash clip on travel dog-walking water bottle with fresh water), to refill at city park or dog park’s water spigots, to providing extra drinking for your dog’s extra water breaks on your dog’s outdoor walk)! As when you both stop for your water breaks, you can ensure you are keeping both yourself and your furry kid extra safe, hydrated, comfortably happy on your relaxing outdoor walk!😎🥰🐾🐾🦮💦💧
