'Tis the season for ticks, fleas and other itchy pests. There are a variety of methods to keep your dogs safe. Flea collars fit around the neck of the dog like a collar. We use Frontline Plus. Purchased through our Vet, each dose goes by the weight of each dog. Seems a pound or two has crept onto them as the cost was a bit higher this year. We also purchase Heartworm chews from the Vet. Heartworm disease can be painful and deadly to your dogs, so protect them. Not unlike children, dogs can be expensive for protection, but it lasts for months and they will be safe.
It's also very hot outside, if your dog must be left outside in heat, please have shade for them and a ample water supply. Check on them. Don't leave them in cars, even with cracked windows. Heat buildup is quick and extreme causing dehydration and possible death.
Shelter is a must for your outside dog. From thunderstorms, floods, snow and winds, bring them in if you can. After all, they trust us to keep them safe. Let's not let them down.
Enjoy Summer!
