Common Pet Skin Issues in the Summer and How to Manage Them ☀️

1. Hot Spots 🔥
- Symptoms: Red, inflamed, moist patches on the skin, often painful and itchy.
- What to Do: Keep the affected area clean and dry. Trim the hair around the hot spot to prevent further irritation. Use a vet-recommended topical treatment to soothe the skin. If the hot spot doesn’t improve, consult your vet for further treatment.

2. Allergies 🤧
- Symptoms: Itching, redness, hot spots, hair loss, ear infections.
- What to Do: Identify and avoid allergens (pollen, grasses, certain foods). Bathe your pet regularly with hypoallergenic shampoo to remove allergens from their coat. Consult your vet for allergy testing and treatment, which may include antihistamines or steroids.

3. Flea Infestations 🍃
- Symptoms: Intense itching, redness, hair loss, presence of flea dirt (black specks) on the skin.
- What to Do: Use flea prevention treatments regularly (topical or oral medications). Treat your home and yard to eliminate fleas. Ensure all pets in the household are treated simultaneously to prevent reinfestation. Consult your vet for the best flea control plan.

Regular vet visits can help catch skin issues early and keep your pet healthy and comfortable all summer long.

Treat time is important, but moderation is key! 🐾 Keep your pup's snack game in check by ensuring treats make up no more than 10% of their daily diet. Too many goodies can lead to tummy troubles and extra pounds. Consider swapping out regular treats for small, pet-safe bites of veggies and fruits to keep tails wagging and waistlines trim! 🍏🥕
