If you plan on going hiking with your pet, or camping!
Hey all. I don’t know about you, but I love it when the weather heats up and I can go out and hike, camp, go to the lake or head to my family’s cabin. Of course, I HAVE to take my dog Ruby! Here are some important tips if you plan on doing the same with your pet. First, make sure that they are current on ALL of their shots! Also as important, is that they have flea contol that can fight off ticks as well as fleas, and Frontline is a great product that does just that. Make sure you have their papers that show they are licensed and have their rabies tag. Keep water on you at all times, and a portable water bowl for your pet. Imagine how thirsty they are! Lastly, take bags to pick up after your pet! That is a must. Have fun enjoying the weather with your dog!!
Swimming made fun AND safe!
Ok, so I know I am a broken record with the whole exercise with your pet thing. I assure you, its for good reason!! With as hot as it is lately, swimming with your pet is a great option to burn calories, and tire them out for the day. Of course, you can get involved as well and play a lively game of catch from one end to the next-you’ll be huffing and puffing before you know it! I always have fun throwing Dude’s tennis ball into the deep end-he’ll burn so many calories to get that ball!! Talk about a workout! And, if you are enjoying swimming in a lake with your pet, its always important to keep an eye on them to make sure they aren’t getting too tired, or short of breath. Also to keep it safe, you can also have your pet wear a doggie lifevest, or whats called Ruff Wear K-9 float coat. And, of course, make sure your pet is vaccinated before taking them to an area like a lake with a lot of pet traffic. This way, you ensure that your pet is getting a great workout, safely! Enjoy the heat while we have it, and make sure your pet does too!
