Summer with a Dog

A dog that is afraid of thunder first needs protection from escaping and a safe place it can choose on its own, not pressure to “get used to it.” Here’s a practical plan for what to do before, during, and after the storm, along with clear guidelines for when to involve a veterinarian or behavior specialist.

The best summer activities for your dog will rarely be the same all season. Choose based on temperature, age, and energy level: walks during the cooler hours, scent work when it’s hot, and swimming only for dogs that actually enjoy the water.

An overheated dog should start to recover once it’s allowed to stop, move into the shade, and calm down. Continued heavy panting, a rapid pulse, bright red or dry gums, and signs of restlessness, vomiting, or unsteadiness indicate that the heat has become dangerous.

Pollen season doesn’t only affect people – dogs can also suffer from allergic reactions.

As summer rolls in, many of us dog owners look forward to including our four-legged family members in our travel plans. Exploring new places together, feeling the warmth of the sun, and experiencing the world through their eyes is incredibly rewarding. But a successful holiday with your dog takes more than just enthusiasm. It’s about carefully preparing for their health, safety, and overall well-being. We’ve gathered our best tips and advice to help you plan the perfect summer trip with your dog.

As the summer heat rolls in, we look forward to long days out in the sun – especially our four-legged friends who love exploring and playing outside. But with the warmer weather comes a higher risk of ticks and other parasites that can threaten our dogs’ health. Taking steps to protect them from these summer parasites is essential to ensure they can enjoy the season to the fullest while staying healthy and happy.

As dog owners, it’s our responsibility to make sure our four-legged friends stay comfortable and safe, especially during the hot summer months. Overheating can be extremely dangerous for dogs and, in the worst case, lead to heatstroke, which can be life-threatening.

Having a garden is a wonderful asset for any dog owner, but it also comes with responsibilities. It’s important to make sure your garden is a safe place for your four-legged friend to explore, play, and relax.
