This is awesome info. If you feel yourself getting impatient, take a deep breath follow-thru til you can end on a good note… then stop until YOU are calm. This is a game of Marco Polo. If you feeling rushed or distracted, it is NOT the time to practice. You must be able to be totally focused and positive for the entire session. Consistency is key. 🐾❤️🐾

It’s National Heat Awareness Day! ☀

With warm summer weather approaching, we wanted to share tips to keep your four-legged friends safe in the heat. Check them out below! 👇

💧 Always provide your pet with access to fresh, cool water - especially on hot summer days.

🐶 Seek shade when taking your pup out for potty breaks and avoid strenuous exercise. If your dog is one that thrives off of exercise and daily activity, it might be a good idea to take early morning or late evening walks when temperatures are lowest. During the day, consider other forms of enrichment that will keep them busy while inside.

🌡 Experts say pavement temperatures can reach up to 60 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the air, especially while under sunlight. Protect your pet’s feet by taking walks on the grass instead.

🚗 You never should leave your pet unattended in a car (especially if it’s not running), even on cooler days because the temperature inside can rise rapidly. Consider leaving them at home if you won’t be able to stay in the car with them or bring them inside with you during your travels.

🩺 Heatstroke is a serious, life-threatening medical emergency. Some of the symptoms can include; excessively panting/drooling, weakness, collapse, difficulty breathing, vomiting, having bloody diarrhea, and more. If your pet is showing signs, get them to a veterinarian immediately.
