Swimming is a fantastic activity for dogs, offering both exercise and fun. 🌊Many dogs enjoy splashing around in the water, which can be a great way to keep cool during hot summer months. 🐾
Not all dogs are natural swimmers, so it's important to introduce them to water gradually and always supervise them. Providing a dog life jacket can add extra safety, especially for beginners or less buoyant breeds. After a swim, rinse your dog with fresh water to remove chlorine, salt, or algae.
With proper precautions, swimming can be a healthy and enjoyable pastime for your furry friend. 🐶

Every year on May 20th, we celebrate National Rescue Dog Day—a day dedicated to the incredible dogs who have been given a second chance at life. By adopting a rescue dog, not only do you provide a deserving animal with a forever home, but you also make room in shelters for more animals in need.

On this day, consider supporting local shelters and rescue organizations. You can volunteer, donate, foster, or simply spread the word about the joys and benefits of adopting a rescue dog.

As we come to the end of National Pet Week, we take a look at another article from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)
Walking is healthy for you and your dog. Not only is it physical activity, but it’s mental stimulation for your dog to smell, see and hear beyond the limits of your yard. Walking helps preserve your pet’s muscle tone and joint movement.
The following article can help you design a safe walking program for your dog…or even for your cat!

Day 4 of National Pet Week brings up the subject of trips to the vet. For many animals, a trip to the vet means high levels of stress. Relieving those symptoms can help make the vet visit easier on everyone, including yourself.
Tip: It’s important that car rides don’t predict a trip to the vet, otherwise your dog’s stress will begin as soon as you enter the car. Make sure you take your dog out to other places such as the dog park or even just for a drive. Then, when you are heading to the vet, it will seem like just another fun outing.

Regular veterinary visits are essential for your pet's health and wellness, but they can be stressful for dogs. Here's how to make vet visits stress-free.
