Summer pet care

If you and your dog are like me and my dog, Shelby, warm weather means you spend a lot of time together outside. The fresh air, spring flowers, and the need to get out and exercise make it a time we all can’t resist.

Outdoor exposure for dogs can also mean a time of risk for your pet. Being proactive and careful can prevent many problems that face your pet.

Here are some helpful tips to make your summer with your dog the best yet:

• Stay on top of monthly flea, tick, and heartworm protection
• Treat itchy spots
• Keep your dog’s fur combed and clean
• Bring fresh water for your dog on walks and runs
• Apply sunscreen (baby sunscreen is fine) to exposed areas like the nose and ears
• Check your dog’s paws often for injuries

Following these tips will help your dog get the most enjoyment out of the summer months. Have fun!
