Protect your pet from the sun!
Hey guys, I am sure that you are aware that keeping the suns harmful rays from your skin is a must. It is also important for your pet!! If your pet is left outside for a majority of the day, or is with you on a trip to go hiking and swimming, etc, they need sunscreen too! You will notice without sunscreen, their noses will be pretty red in no time. Check out your local pet stores, make sure you can get a decent spf with no allergens and your pet will be set, just like you! When you prepare yourself for the sun, prepare your furry friend as well!!
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!!
Its hot out there!
Lets not forget, the hotter it gets, the more important water is for both you and your pet. Making sure your pet is hydrated if you are leaving the pet outside during these 100 degree days is imperative. Leaving two dishes full of water is better than coming home to a sick dehydrated pet. If you want to take your pet on a walk, I recommend doing so in the early hours before it gets too hot. And if you do take your pet on a walk, make sure you bring a portable water bowl (easily $5 at any pet store) and a bottled water so that you both stay hydrated and healthy! Its not even May yet, so lets make sure that we are prepared for the hot days!

Puppy Training!!!AH!!!
Ok, so if you went to the walk, you probably already know that I now have a 4 month old puppy! We named him Baxter, and he was abandoned (randomly? I doubt it) at Davis Park on the morning of the health walk. We are now puppy proofing the house, and that is about as fun as it sounds! But this is a very important part of having a puppy- removing the opportunity for problem behavior. Having a few trusty chew toys on hand to replace a non-approved item is a must. It doesn’t do to just remove the item from the pets reach, its important that you provide an approved item for your pet to chew on. Positive reinforcement at its finest!!
