Summer Suggestions…
Here are some Fourth of July, as well as summer time tips to keep your pet safe. 
- Your dog and cat’s hearing and vision is different than ours. The flash, boom and crowds of fireworks can cause great anxiety for them. Leave your pet home.
- In addition to the noise and crowds we are having a very hot summer. Dogs can not cool off like we do causing them to dangerously overheat, and the pavement can burn their feet. You should go and enjoy the fireworks, Farmer’s Market, music or arts fest, but leave your dog safely at home.
- When you leave them at home keep them inside. A cool location with plenty of water is best. Even the best of dogs who never escape your back yard may jump or dig out due to fear during fireworks.
- Microchipping and an ID tag will assist if your get separated from your dog.
- If your pet has a history of anxiety from fireworks or thunder we have some options to help. We have several varieties of calming treats. All assist with anxious situations for dogs and cats. Thundershirts™ provide a gentle, constant pressure which has a calming effect for most dogs.
- If your dog needs sunscreen on a sensitive nose or belly…NO PABA is the rule.
- Flies or gnats bugging them…NO DEET is the rule.
- Don’t forget consistent heartworm and flea/tick preventative.
