Summer is almost here, and that means you may be getting ready to hit the open road with your favorite furry friend. But before the fun can really get started, it’s important to make sure your pet is ready for summer. We want to help you and your pet have a safe and healthy summer, so here are our top tips for preparing your pet for the hotter months.
Always Hydrate
During the summer, hydration is key – especially for pets. If you’re feeling hot and dehydrated, imagine how hot your pet feels with their heavy fur! Make sure your pet has access to clean water at all times, and bring plenty with you if you’re taking your pet on a trip.
If you like to take your dog hiking or to the beach, make sure not to let them drink any water they find in the wild. It could have parasites or other germs that are not safe for your pet to consume. Bring along a collapsible bowl and an extra bottle of fresh water just for your pet.
Get a Microchip
If your pet doesn’t have a microchip, now is the perfect time to get them one. These handy devices give you a much higher chance of recovering your pet if they ever get lost on a summer adventure. Your pet’s chip will contain your contact information, even if they lose their collar or weren’t wearing one to begin with. This is especially useful for pet owners who like to take their furry friends on long hikes and let them off the leash.
