Summer Safety Alert: Watch Out for Heatstroke! 🥵

As the temperatures rise, it's vital to keep our furry friends safe from heatstroke. Here are some essential tips to ensure your dog stays cool and healthy this summer 👇

🐾 Pavement Check: Before heading out for a walk, always check the pavement temperature. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!

🐾 Never Leave in Cars: Never leave your dog in a parked car, even for a few minutes. The temperature inside can skyrocket, leading to serious health risks.

🐾 Stay Hydrated: Always have fresh water available for your pup, especially during outdoor playtime.

🐾 Cool Down: Provide shaded areas and cooling mats for your dog to relax in. Consider short walks during the cooler parts of the day.

Let’s keep our pups safe and happy this summer! If you notice any signs of heatstroke, such as excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy, seek veterinary help immediately. Stay cool and enjoy the sunny days ahead!

Now that summer is here, it’s time to talk about regular grooming! 👇✂️💜

Keeping your furry friends groomed during the warmer months is essential for their health and comfort. Regular grooming helps prevent matting, reduces shedding, and keeps their coats lightweight and cool. Plus, it allows you to check for any skin irritations or pests hiding in that beautiful fur! A well-groomed dog not only looks great but also feels great, helping them stay cool and happy during outdoor play.

Let's make grooming a fun part of your summer routine! Schedule a grooming appointment at Central Bark Kenosha today, and keep your dog looking and feeling their best! +1 262-694-3647
