Though the look may not be desirable, shaving or giving your dog a “puppy cut” can help you detect and ward off most of your dog’s summertime assailants. Prevention can save your dog’s life. If you have areas on your property that collect standing water (birdbath or pool cover), DO NOT let your dog drink it. It’s a pool party for intestinal parasites, known as Giardia, causing diarrhea and requiring antibiotics. The garden hose is off limits too unless you have a new “SAFE TO DRINK” garden hose. Hoses can be lined with dangerous levels of lead and fittings containing toxic chemicals. So even though we all have fond memories of drinking from the garden hose as kids, it’s really not a good idea. Another summer hazard hiding in plain sight is the sidewalk, especially roadways, black top driveway and brick walkways. In bright sunlight some of these areas can be extremely hot and harmful to your dogs paws. If you notice that your dog won’t stand still and keeps shifting from leg to leg it’s probably because the walkway is too hot. Cross to an area with more shade. This is something I cannot get use to seeing: dogs riding in the back of pick-up trucks. This is so dangerous that it has become illegal in many states.

sprays can be fatal if your pet ingests them. Also, it’s very important that you know what’s growing in your garden as over 700 plants can be harmful. Just a word about swimming pools: if your dog has easy access in, make sure he knows how to exit. Simply teach him the way you would a young child. A life vest is always a good idea. Our dogs add a tremendous amount of joy during the summer playtime months so please give them the love and care they deserve. And don’t forget the heartworm and tick preventatives.
