Tips to protect your fur babies from the Texas heat It is that time of the year: We are getting ready to start the summer! While that is very exciting for many of us, it can be scary for some of our pets.
So I will be sharing important tips on protecting our babies when they are outside during the hottest days of the year. One of the most common pastimes in the summer is visiting a lake or a pool, and many of our pups love swimming or being by the water.
If this is the case for your pup, make sure to use sunscreen, especially for light colored babies or short haired babies. You can use a pet or human baby sunscreen product and apply it to the areas on your pup that are hairless or have thinner hair — like the bridge of their nose, ears, belly, lip area away from the mouth and paws.
Do your best to keep your furry loved one from ingesting the sunscreen, and apply it regularly as needed. When it comes to walking our dogs outside, we have to be extremely careful because our are summers get scorching hot!
