Fireworks are just around the corner. If your furry friend had a hard time with the 4th of July festivities last year, medications might be necessary to keep them and others safe. Calming aids such as Purina Calming Care, Adaptil/Feliway, and Thunder Shirts are also good options for those anxious pets.

Keep up with flea/tick and heartworm preventatives.
Watch out for summer specific toxins such as Blue Green Algae, fireworks, toads, and some snakes and spiders!
Not all dogs are swimmers.
