Tips For Summer Walks: ⬇️

• If the ground is too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws!

•Try shoes or booties to protect your pup’s paws!

• Walk on the dirt or grass instead of asphalt

• Take longer walks in the early morning or later evening

Summer is ALMOST here! ☀️⬇️

Which means we need to start being extra cautious with our pets during outdoor adventures!

🦴 The heat can be dangerous! Dogs can't regulate their temperature as well as humans, so it's important to keep them cool. Provide shade and water, and limit exercise during peak temperatures. *Signs of heatstroke include excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, and loss of consciousness.*

🦴 Dogs with short hair, white fur, and pink skin are especially susceptible to sunburn. Apply sunscreen to their ears, nose, and coat before going outside.

🦴 Try exercising your dog before sunrise or during other cool parts of the day to reduce the risk of overheating.

🦴 Provide a shady place to rest! A beach tent or outdoor beach pen can provide a cool place for your dog to rest. Or if going for a long walk, make sure you stop for shade, intermittently! (For you & your pet)

🦴 Markets & events! Hot temperatures and loud noises can make your dog panic & cause stress, so it's best to keep them at home during the hot season of summer during busy events!

This is officially our first summer post, but definitely not our last! Stay tuned for more summer safety tips for your furry friends 🐶

Therapy is undeniably great. But also having a pet by your side can sometimes be even greater! 🐶🐱 (Especially after a long week of work! TGIF)

Petting your dog and/or cat every day significantly improves your mental state of health without even knowing!

How? You ask… ⬇️

•Reduced stress: Petting a dog or cat can lower cortisol, the stress hormone.

•Increased oxytocin: The social interaction between people and their pets can increase oxytocin, the hormone that makes mothers bond with babies.

•Calming effect: Petting and stroking a pet can help ease tensions and provide a calming effect.

•Reduced anxiety: Petting a dog or cat can reduce anxiety levels.

•Improved mood: Playing with a dog or cat can elevate levels of the feel-good hormones serotonin and dopamine, which help you feel calm and relaxed.

•Reduced risk of depression: Studies have found that dog owners are less likely to suffer from depression than those without pets.

•Improved self-confidence: Pets can help with self-confidence, especially if you are struggling with low self esteem.

•Improved physical health: Most dogs are a great stimulus for healthy exercise, which can substantially boost your mood and ease depression.

✨This wasn’t just a cute pet quote, it was a reminder to take some time out of your day to pet your furry friends…for the soul! ♥️

✨Dog Socialization✨

Myth: Taking my pup to the dog park is the best way to socialize my dog.

Fact: This fairly wide spread myth is completely untrue! Scuffles, misbehavior, and out of control dogs are common occurrences at dog parks, which can pose a real threat to your pup.

⭐️One of the most vital parts of socialization is being able to control the environment, and the dog park is completely unsuitable for that! There is also the risk of disease, as most dog parks do not have any restriction on dogs who are not fully vaccinated. Overall it is not a good place to try to socialize your new puppy. ⭐️

There are many better options like: ⬇️

•Go for walks to take in the sights, smells and sounds of the neighborhood.

•Introduce your dog to another adult dog, such as during a nice, relaxed walk!

•Introduce your dog to another adult human by inviting a friend over.

•Introduce your dog to puppies and children in a calm environment.

Our pet’s nervous systems are highly important, too! Don’t make the common mistake by confusing ‘socialization’ with ‘overstimulation’ - our pups mainly just need us & calm and controlled environments for socializing to be beneficial! 🐶✨

How Often Should You Change A Cat’s Litter Box? 🐱✨

Here’s the scoop! (Pun greatly intended 🐱):

🐾 If you use a clumping litter, it’s best to scoop the box daily and change it out completely at least monthly. If you have more than one cat, it may be best to change the cat litter more often, every 2-3 weeks.

🐾If you use a non-clumping litter and have only one cat, changing the litter twice per week is a good guideline. If you have more than one cat, every other day may work better.

🐾Plus, if your cat is especially finicky or tidy, they may refuse to use a litter box that hasn’t been scooped or changed. In these cases, you’ll need to clean the box more often. Pay attention to your cat’s output and litter habits and adjust as needed.

✨Pawz 4 Pawz is here for your purrrfect pals, too! We will make sure your cat’s litter box is fresh & clean, their bowls are filled, and we love keeping your kitty company!✨

➡️ 57% of dog parents still admit to skipping walks each week!

When asked for the reason why they would skip on their dog sometimes, the most common reasons given by the dog owners included:

It’s important to try your best to not become a part of that statistic because your pooch is counting on you! If you’re busy & tired, hire a Dog Walker! We would love to take the leash off your hands. ☺️
