🐾 Summer Travel Tips for Pet Owners 🐾☀️

Planning a summer getaway with your furry companion? A little preparation can help make the trip safe, comfortable, and fun for everyone!

🚗 Before You Go
✅ Make sure your pet's vaccinations are up to date.
✅ Ensure ID tags and microchip information are current.
✅ Pack medications, preventives, and copies of medical records.

💧 Stay Hydrated
Bring plenty of fresh water and a travel bowl. Offer water frequently, especially during outdoor activities.

🌡️ Beat the Heat
Never leave your pet unattended in a parked vehicle—even for a few minutes. Temperatures can rise dangerously fast.

🦟 Don't Skip Prevention
Keep your pet protected with heartworm, flea, and tick preventives while traveling.

🐕 Take Breaks
On road trips, stop every few hours for bathroom breaks, exercise, and water.

🏨 Plan Ahead
Research pet-friendly accommodations, parks, and emergency veterinary clinics at your destination.

🐾 Pack the Essentials
Don't forget:
• Food and treats
• Leash and harness
• Waste bags
• Favorite toy or blanket
• Crate or carrier
• Medications

❤️ A little planning goes a long way in making summer adventures safe and enjoyable for your pet.

🐾 June 1 Reminder! 🐾

A new month is here, which means it's time to protect your pets from parasites!

❤️ Don't forget to give your pet their heartworm prevention every 30 days.
🦟 Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes and can cause serious, life-threatening disease.

🛡️ It's also time for their flea and tick prevention.
🐜 Fleas and ticks can spread disease, cause skin irritation, and make your pet miserable.

A few minutes today can help keep your furry family members healthy all month long.

If you have questions about which preventives are best for your pet, give us a call—we're happy to help!
