Summer has arrived here in the Tri-State and it is going to be a scorcher out there for the next several days. Let’s not forget to pay close attention to our pets during this time.  Outdoor pets and animals left unattended in parked vehicles are at risk of overheating and at worst, death.  Taking some simple precautions can help you and your pet enjoy a safe and happy summer together. 

• Provide your pet shade and plenty of cool, fresh drinking water.  Try putting ice cubes in heat to keep their water cooler. Your pet needs to be able to escape the sun’s harmful rays, and water can help fight off dehydration. Here’s a cool tip for dog owners, try freezing a Kong toy with wet food or peanut butter. It will not only provide Fido with entertainment but it will also help keep them cool.      

After an unseasonably warm winter, many gardens and yards in the area are growing and blossoming well ahead of schedule. Outdoor enthusiasts who are also pet owners are delighted with the early onset of spring, enjoying their outdoor living spaces while watching their pets run and play.

The veterinary and toxicology experts at Pet Poison Helpline would like to keep pets safe this spring and summer by informing pet owners of potentially harmful substances, flowers and plants that are dangerous to dogs and cats.
