Cobe & Ripper are ready for the 4th of July and want to make sure that you are too! Be sure to read below for safety tips and tricks for the upcoming holiday!
-
Take your dog for a long walk before the festivities begin. This will allow them to potty before the noise begins and it'll help tire them out.
-
Never use fireworks around your pet. The noise can spook them into taking off or they can accidentally get burned by the debris.
-
Make sure your pet is wearing an ID collar with your current contact info. Also make sure that your contact info is current if your pet is microchipped.
-
Loud, crowded fireworks displays are no fun for pets. Resist the urge to bring your pet with you to festivities.
-
Leave your pet at home with all the windows securely closed and all shades drawn. Turn on some music or your TV to drown out the noise from the fireworks.
-
Leave your pet with something to play with to keep them occupied. A frozen kong stuffed with treats will last hours.
-
Consider staying home with your pets to insure they remain safe, especially if they have anxiety.
-
If your pet is extremely anxious, consult with your veterinarian about alternatives to calm your pet.

To continue our summer pet safety tips from last week, here are a couple more tips to keep your pets safe and cool this summer ☀️

3. Never leave your pet in the car 🚗
Most pets love riding in cars. But they wouldn’t enjoy being stuck in it somewhere in the parking lot when it heats up to over 100 degrees. You may think leaving your pet in a car for a few minutes is no big deal. However, it can take less than 10 minutes to develop heat stroke in dogs and cats inside the hot vehicle.🔥

Leaving your pets in cars is not only dangerous to your pet, but it is also illegal in 16 states that have specific “hot car” laws. So, either take your pet with you or leave it at home. If you see a pet left alone in a car under dangerous condition, take action immediately - try searching for the owner asap or even call the police.

4. Apply sunscreen ☀️
Believe it or not, pets get sunburns too, especially those with short or light hair coat. Just like with people, it hurts and can even lead to skin cancer. If you are planning to spend a day out in the sun with your furry companion, apply sunscreen every 3-4 hours to the least hair-covered spots: bellies, ears, and nose. Use only sunscreens made specifically for pets.

What better excuse to curl up for a nap in the A/C than when it's 6pm and still 93° outside.

☀️ Summertime means sun, beach, and lots of play outdoors with your dog or cat. Summer can be a great time to bond with your pet. But higher temperatures also mean higher risks for our furry companions - more injuries, more skin and ear infections, and a possibility of a heat stroke.

Pets do not sweat in the same way humans do and can easily become overheated. To avoid this problems and enjoy the summer season with your pet, here are a couple of tips to keep in mind.

1. Provide plenty of water and shade
💧 Dehydration in dogs and cats is a real possibility during the summer. Our dogs get much thirstier than we do when they get hot. Signs of dehydration include dry gums and excessive drooling. Make sure your pet always has access to fresh, clean water inside the house and bring a bottle for your furry companion when going outside, just like you do for yourself. You might also switch to a wet dog food during the hotter months to increase fluid intake.

🌳 Keep your pet in the shade as often as possible. While dogs and cats like to sunbathe, direct sunlight can overheat them (especially dogs) and lead to heat stroke.

2.Know the signs
🌡 A dog's normal temperature is between 100° and 103°F, while a normal temperature in cats ranges from 100.4º to 102.5ºF. Anything higher than that means your pet’s in danger. Dogs and cats don’t sweat like we do. They drink water and pant to bring down their body temperature.

Watch for these possible symptoms of overheating:
• Heavy panting 🥵
• Dry or bright red gums
• Thick drool
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Wobbly legs

If your pet shows signs of heat exhaustion, move them to a cool place, give them a drink of water, put a damp towel over their body, and get them to the vet asap. Don’t place your pet in cold water because that can put them into shock.
