As summer approaches, keeping your pet cool becomes a priority, especially in apartment living at Lodges at Lake Salish. Here are some essential pet safety tips to ensure your furry friend stays comfortable in warm weather.

Practice Basic Summer Safety

Firstly, ensure your apartment stays cool. Use fans or air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. Close blinds or curtains during the hottest parts of the day to block direct sunlight. Always provide fresh, cool water for your pet, and consider adding ice cubes to keep it cooler for longer. Schedule walks and outdoor playtime for early mornings or late evenings when the temperatures are lower. Remember, hot pavement can burn your pet’s paws, so always check the ground with your hand before taking your pet outside. Never leave your pet in a parked car, as temperatures can rise dangerously fast, even with the windows cracked open.

Local Pet Shops for Petcare

Living at Lodges at Lake Salish offers access to several local pet shops providing products and services to keep your pet cool. Stores like PetSmart and Petco carry cooling mats, vests, and pet-safe sunscreen, all designed to protect your pet from the heat. Regular grooming is also vital; a well-maintained coat can help prevent overheating. Many local groomers offer services to trim your pet’s fur, which can be especially beneficial during the summer. Some shops even provide mobile grooming services, making it convenient to keep your pet’s coat in top condition without leaving your home.

By following these summer safety tips and utilizing local pet care resources, you can ensure your pet stays cool and healthy throughout the season. Enjoy the warm weather at Lodges at Lake Salish, knowing your pet is well taken care of.
