HOT DOG OR CAT

During the hot summer weather it is important to ensure that pets stay cool. Overheating and heat stoke are very serious problems for pets. There are a few things to keep in mind to help a pet stay cool and healthy in the intense heat. Water is of the utmost importance in hot weather. Making sure a pet can access water is vital as it is the most basic way to stay cool and hydrated, and the potential for dehydration increases in hot weather. Providing an extra water dish or water source is wise as a pet may either run out, or dogs in particular, are prone to tipping their dish over. Automatic or continuous flow water dishes can be particularly helpful for pets that spend extended periods of time outdoors. Next, provide a cool spot out of the sun for your pet. Also, be aware of spots that can become extremely hot such as cars, sunrooms, garages, and attics, and take precautions to ensure a pet doesn’t become trapped in any of these areas. Don’t over exercise a pet either. Finally, seek immediate veterinary attention if your pet is showing any sign of heat stroke as this is an extremely dangerous condition.

THE BENEFITS OF BASIC BRUSHING

Most dogs and cats shed quite a bit this time of year. Pet owners can help reduce the amount of fur around the house simply by brushing their pet regularly. It is one of the simplest ways to control a shedding and pets often enjoy being brushed. Also, pet owners that spend some time petting their animals can simply pick up a brush as an easy addition to ones normal routine. While many pets require a certain amount of grooming, even those who have low maintenance pets can also benefit. Short haired cats and some short haired dogs are good examples. Most short haired cats keep their coat clean and in good condition, yet they can still be big shedders and brushing removes that excess fur. For pets with longer fur, brushing not only helps with shedding, but helps prevent skin and coat problems. Extra grooming can in many cases be both simple and helpful.
