☀️ Keep Your Pets Happy, Healthy & Hydrated This Summer! 💧🐾
July is National Pet Hydration Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to highlight just how important water is for your furry friends during the warmer months.
💦 Why hydration matters:
• Regulates body temperature – panting and paw sweating help cool them down 🌡️
• Supports digestion – aids in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients 😋
• Cushions joints & supports organ health – especially kidneys and liver 💗
• Flushes out toxins – helping maintain a healthy urinary system ✔️
Pop into store for expert advice and great products to help your pets stay cool, comfy and hydrated all summer long! 🐶🐱
