Today is National Beach Day!! 🏖
Here are a few tips to keep in mind when taking your furry friend to the beach:
🌴Make sure to check the temperature of the sand to ensure it is safe for your pet's paws. Press the back of your hand on the sand, and if it is too hot for you then it is definitely too hot for your pet!
🌊 Don't let your dog drink salt water or eat sand. This could lead to severe stomach distress, dehydration, or dangerous intestinal blockages.
⛱ Set up a large umbrella, tent, or canopy so that your dog can cool down throughout the day.
🫧Be sure to rinse off salt water and sand to prevent any skin or paw irritation.
