”We love Canine College. Our dog has been going there for 4 years now! He's always so excited to go. Everybody is amazing. We know that when our dog is there he is safe and treated well. From day care, to boarding, to training I give everything 5 stars. I don't think we can ever move because we could never take our dog anywhere else.”—Google Review

Labor Day weekend is the perfect opportunity to create some lasting end-of-summer memories at the lake with your furry best friend. Don’t slack off on water safety just because it’s the end of the season.

Here are some tips to ensure your pup has a fun and safe time in the water:

🛟 Supervision is a must: Never leave your dog unattended near water, even if they seem like a confident swimmer.

💧 Hydration is key: Pack plenty of fresh water and offer it frequently, especially after swimming. Lake water can be dehydrating.

🛟 Beware of hazards: Stay clear of strong currents, algae blooms, and submerged objects. Hot sand can burn paws, so bring paw protectors or take breaks in the shade.

💧 Rinse off after a swim: Fresh water helps remove chlorine, salt, or algae that can irritate your dog's skin.

Bonus Tip: Consider learning basic canine CPR. Being prepared for an emergency can make all the difference.

🐾 Lost Pet Prevention Month 🚫🐾
Keep your furry friend safe and by your side with these essential tips! 🏡🐶

Let's make this Lost Pet Prevention Month a success by implementing these tips to safeguard our beloved pets. Together, we can keep them safe, happy, and by our sides where they belong! 🐾❤️

Swipe to learn more.

1️⃣ Teach: Come and Stay! We recommend positive reinforcement, using treats to reward your pet for listening and coming when called.
2️⃣ Always use a leash! When your pets are outside, keep them on a leash to ensure they don't run off after squirrels and risk getting lost.
3️⃣ Pet-proof your home! Ensure all doors, including storm and screen doors, are securely latched. Windows at ground level should also remain shut to prevent any escape attempts.
4️⃣ Be safe in the car! Cars can be a tricky place for dogs to escape. Be mindful when opening doors and windows, as they could slip through the crack, and easily make a dash for it. Understanding your dog's behavior and finding the best methods to prevent escapes is key.
5️⃣ Travel safely! When traveling, secure your pet in a quality crate to ensure their safety and prevent any potential escapes during transit.
6️⃣ Use wearable and trackable ID! In case your pet manages to escape, make sure they have external ID tags for quick identification and a speedy return home.
7️⃣ Plan ahead for noise events! If your pet is sensitive to loud noises like thunderstorms, anticipate their reaction to fireworks. With the Fourth of July approaching, take extra precautions to keep them calm and secure.
