We love spoiling your fur babies while you are away and grabbing a homemade treat from Kerri's Pawsome Bakery is something our clients paw-sitively love. If you haven't had the opportunity to try them yet, leash up your pups and head over to Animal Rescue Inc.'s Dogs' Day in the Park in New Freedom tomorrow for some tail-wagging tasty fun.

With another heat advisory in effect, it's important to keep a close eye on your pets to make sure they stay safe. Heat stroke is a serious risk for many animals when temperatures climb, so knowing the signs to watch out for and taking preventative measures can be lifesaving.

During these high temperatures, it's crucial to ensure farm animals stay cool and comfortable. Here are some essential tips to keep your livestock happy and healthy during the summer heat:

Create Shade: Make sure your animals have access to shady areas. If you don't have permanent structures, consider portable shade shelters. Trees and shelters provide relief from the sun's rays. 🌳🏠

Use Fans: Keep fans running in barns to provide a cooling breeze and keep biting insects at bay. The breeze will help keep your animals comfortable while the fans deter pesky flies and mosquitoes. 💨🐜

Clean Water: Ensure water troughs are clean and fresh. Stagnant water can harbor algae and bacteria. A simple solution: add a few fish to keep the troughs clean! Clean, fresh water is essential for your animals' health and comfort. 🐟💧

Apply Sunblock: Protect horses with pink noses from UV rays with child-safe zinc oxide. Prevent sunburn and keep sensitive areas protected. 🌞🐴

Minimize Stress: Avoid stressful activities during the hottest days. Let your animals relax and stay cool. Keeping stress levels down will help your animals conserve energy. 🧘‍♀️🧘‍♂️

Control Insects: Use bug spray, fans, and manage manure properly to reduce insect stress. Minimize annoyance from flies, mosquitoes, and other bugs. 🦟❌

Keeping these tips in mind will help ensure your animals stay cool, comfortable, and healthy throughout the summer. Stay safe, and take care of your farm friends! By following these best practices, you'll keep your livestock happy even during the hottest days.
