Preparing For the Months Ahead
Summer Months. Please Remember:
- Keep your pet provided with plenty of fresh water, change water for outdoor pets several times a day
- Keep your pet well groomed, and check for fleas, ticks, etc.
- Be aware of keeping your pet away from fertilizer, and other lawn and car chemicals
- Provide shelter from the sun
- Don't walk your pet during peak sunlight hours- they get dehydrated more quickly, and the pavement burns the pads of their paws
Winter Months. Please Remember:
- Don't leave pets outdoors during extreme weather
- Be aware that pets can injure themselves falling on ice
- Keep ice cleaned out of paws
- Don't leave a pet inside a running car
- Check for animals or pets taking shelter under your car
- Anti-Freeze is in greater use during this season. Watch for spills. Animals love the taste, and will lap it up- it is deadly.
- Keep outdoor pets well- fed and with fresh, clean water
