Please be aware of the following summer hazards
for your pet:
-
Maggots. Your outside pet is especially
vulnerable. Flies lay eggs in moist area or
wounds and maggots are the result. They can be
deadly. Keep your pet cool, dry and check
regularly for sores.
-
Summer Heat. Do not exercise your pet during hot
and humid times, and never leave your pet in a
car. Provide cool shelter and plenty of fresh
water.
-
Fireworks/thunder. Many pets are extremely
fearful of loud noises associated with fireworks
and thunder. Keep pets inside during storms and
fireworks displays and leave a radio or tv on to
provide distraction. Never leave a fearful pet
outdoors unattended or take to a fireworks
display as these pets experience extreme stress
and can injure themselves or run away. Contact
us if you feel your pet needs a mild sedative.
-
Choking hazard. Do not leave your dog tied or
outside with a choke collar as they can choke to
death if caught on something or tangled. The
ring can even get caught in a deck and the dog
will choke trying to free itself.
-
Considered having your pet micro-chipped. It's a
safe and easy way to ID your pet in the event
he/she is lost.
