Shedding

Cats shed their winter coat and it commonly forms hairballs that they can ingest. To prevent this, comb their fur regularly and practice regular bathing and grooming rituals. Cats don’t really need haircuts, but if your cat is used to it, you can take it to the groomer for a trim.

Sunscreen

Human sunscreens can be harmful for cats if they lick the product. There are specialized sunscreens for dogs on the market but not for cats, so consult your veterinarian for the best brand to use.

Heatstroke

Hot weather gets to your cat, too. Take action immediately if you notice panting, as cats don’t typically breathe with an open mouth like dogs do. You can cool down your cat by wetting their abdomen, ears, and paws with warm water and turning a fan on.

Insects

Cats can get bitten or stung by an insect outside, so call the veterinarian if this happens.

Go Swimming

If there is a place to take your dog swimming nearby, don’t miss the chance. Make sure to do it in the morning or late afternoon, when it’s not too hot!

Turn on the Sprinkler

If you have a sprinkler in front of your home, it’s the same idea as taking your dog swimming. You can chase your dog in the sprinkler and you both will have such a good time and also be keeping cool.

Go on a Road Trip

Open the car windows and hit the road without a specific plan. Explore the world around you together.

Fireflies love it when you leave some high grass or shrubbery around the perimeter of your yard. This is especially true for female fireflies who like to rest on tall grass.

Don’t kill snails and slugs that live in your yard – they are the favorite food of fireflies and will definitely attract them to visit you.

A long-term plan includes planting pine trees – fireflies love hiding among their thick branches.

Dogs aren’t capable of handling the weather in the same way people do. They are separate species and have their own internal tolerances. The most obvious thing is that their skin is covered in fur, which can only make it more difficult to cool down during summer.

Dogs don’t sweat as we do; they lower their body temperature through panting.

To help your pet survive the summer heat, follow these simple rules:

• Don’t take them out while it’s hot
• Let them rest without too much physical activity
• Keep them safe while out (don’t leave them in a hot car, etc.)
• Consider dressing them in a cooling vest if you have to go out.
• Whenever you have the chance, go swimming in the cool water – your dog will appreciate it!
