We all enjoy the long, sunny days of summer spent outdoors with our beloved pets, but it is crucial to keep in mind that, like any other season, summer presents its own set of dangers. To ensure you are ready for anything that may arise this summer, refer to this compilation of summer safety recommendations.
 

• Schedule a visit to the veterinarian for a checkup at the beginning of summer. Ensure that your pets are tested for heartworm if they are not on year-round preventive medication.
• Provide your pets with ample fresh, clean water during hot or humid weather, as they can become dehydrated rapidly.
• Ensure that your pets have access to a shaded area to escape the sun, be cautious not to over-exercise them, and keep them indoors during extreme heat.
• Be aware of the signs of overheating in pets, which may include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, an increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor, or even collapse. Other symptoms can include seizures, bloody diarrhea, and vomiting, along with a body temperature exceeding 104 degrees.
• Never leave your animals unattended in a parked vehicle. This can not only result in fatal heat stroke, but it is also illegal in several states! Understand that animals with flat faces, such as Pugs and Persian cats, are more vulnerable to heat stroke because they cannot pant as efficiently. These pets, along with the elderly, overweight animals, and those with heart or lung conditions, should be kept cool in air-conditioned environments whenever possible.
• Do not leave pets unsupervised around a swimming pool. If you plan to spend time near a pool, lake, or beach with your pet, ensure they have access to fresh water and refrain from allowing them to drink from the pool or ingest ocean or lake water.
• When swimming, gradually introduce your pets to the water and ensure they wear flotation devices when on boats.
• Rinse your dog after swimming to eliminate chlorine or salt from their fur. Keep all unscreened windows and doors in your home closed, and ensure that adjustable screens are securely fastened. Open unscreened windows pose a risk to your pets.
• Feel free to trim your dog's longer hair, but it is important to never shave your dog. The layers of a dog's coat serve to protect them from overheating and sunburn. Increasing the frequency of brushing your cat can help prevent issues related to excessive heat. Additionally, ensure that any sunscreen or insect repellent products you apply to your pets are specifically labeled for use on animals.
• Prevent dogs from remaining on hot asphalt during extremely high temperatures. Since they are close to the ground, your dog's body can heat up rapidly, and their sensitive paw pads may suffer burns. Limit walks during these hot periods.
• Exercise caution when using herbicides and insecticides. When applying these substances to your yard, it is advisable to keep your pet away from the treated area, adhere to the instructions on the packaging, and prevent your pet from accessing the area until it is dry or has been adequately watered. Fertilizer exposure tends to be more frequent in the summer; although it is usually not serious, it can cause some stomach upset and should be taken seriously. Keep fertilizers out of reach and ensure your pet stays away from the treated area until it is dry. Furthermore, keep citronella candles, tiki torch products, and insect coils out of your pets' reach as well. Be aware of the plants you are cultivating in your garden. Being outdoors increases exposure to various types of plants, both ornamental and garden varieties. It is crucial to familiarize yourself with the plants in your yard or garden and the potential risks they may pose to your pets. Identifying potentially harmful plants in advance can help prevent unwanted exposures. Always supervise your pet when they are outside, as even non-toxic plants can lead to stomach upset if ingested.
• Keep in mind that food and drink can represent one of the greatest dangers to pets. To prevent your pet from consuming food that is excessively high in fat or ingesting toxic food items, it is essential to adhere to their regular diet and treats. Additionally, ensure that garbage is kept out of reach, as curious noses can discover hazardous items.

As always, celebrate the summer responsibly and remember, if you SEE something, SAY SOMETHING!
