Summer Care Tips for Pets - Part 2

As I mentioned yesterday, The Humane Society of the United States has posted some excellent tips on how to protect our pets in the summer months. Here are some more valuable tips:

"Summer is often a time when people fertilize their lawns and work in their gardens. But beware: Plant food, fertilizer, and insecticides can be fatal if your pet ingests them. In addition, more than 700 plants can produce physiologically active or toxic substances in sufficient amounts to cause harmful effects in animals." Another excellent resource for plant poisonings is PetHealth101.

"With people and dogs spending more time outside, dog bites are likely to increase in the summer months. Spaying or neutering your dog reduces the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefits." PetHealth101 has a wonderful comparison chart of prescription and non-prescription (OTC) products used for various types of behavior issues.

"Make sure your pet is always wearing a collar and identification tag. If you are separated from your pet, an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket home."

"Check with your veterinarian to see if your pets should be taking heartworm prevention medication. Heartworm disease, which is transmitted by mosquitoes, can be fatal in both dogs and cats." Many veterinarians are now recommending that heartworm prevention be used year round. You should consider 1-800-PetMeds for all your prescription heartworm prevention medication needs.

"Pets and pools can equal disaster. Prevent free access to pools and always supervise a pet in a pool."

"Provide plenty of water and shade for your pets while they're enjoying the great outdoors so they can stay cool." Have you seen the selection bowls at 1-800-PetMeds?

"If you plan on traveling with your pet during the summer, take the time to prepare for your furry friends in advance. Many airlines have summer pet embargoes, and most trains and ships do not allow pets other than service animals. The HSUS has information on traveling with your pet that may make the difference between a pleasant trip and a vacation nightmare." 1-800-PetMeds has a variety of products that can be used in order to make travelling with your anxious pet easier.

"Pets need exercise even when it is hot, but extra care needs to be taken with older dogs, short-nosed dogs, and those with thick coats. On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours. Keep in mind that asphalt gets very hot and can burn your pet's paws."
