Summer Essentials for your Pets
While summer’s a great time to take a much deserved vacation, it’s also the season that could be risky for our pets.
Having a beach trip this summer that you’re looking forward to? Planning on taking a trip with the whole family? While summer’s a great time to take a much deserved vacation, it’s also the season that could be risky for our pets.
As temperatures rise, so do the chances of heat stroke and dehydration. While you’re packing for your trip, why not prepare some summer essentials for your pets as well? We compiled a list of must-haves to ensure a safe and healthy summer for the whole family!
The most important things to watch out for your pets during the summer: dehydration and heatstroke. It’s incredibly crucial that your pets have access to clean drinking water at all times.
If you’re looking for a water bottle that’s both cute and practical, check out the Porta Water Bottle from Pet Express! It’s available in multiple colors, has detachable pet bowls, and comes with a security lock so you can clip the bottle to your bag.
A rule to keep in mind: If it’s too hot to walk on with your bare feet, it’s probably too hot for your pet’s paws as well! A cooling mat can be a great way to help your pet cool down while resting on hot surfaces.
Another way to protect your pet from hot surfaces is taking them in a pet carrier. From backpacks to strollers, Pet Express has a ton of options for your dogs and cats!
During the summer, experts also recommend that pet parents check their dogs and cats for ticks more regularly. Getting a tick-repellent spray could be a smart essential to have this season too.
Health and safety tip: Consult with your vet first about which tick-repellent is best to get for your pet. Some brands that can be great for dogs can actually be toxic for cats!
Having a thick overgrown coat can also contribute to your pet’s overheating! For breeds that have fur that gets tangled and matted, brushing is even more crucial during the warmer weather. We also highly recommend taking your pet for regular grooming sessions to help with their fur and coat maintenance.
