10 seasonal dog safety tips for owners
Manage exercise time and intensity on extremely hot summer days to prevent overheating or burnt paws on hot pavement
Use pet-safe sunscreen on light coated dogs that could get sunburned skin during extended outdoor summer activities
Check paws thoroughly after winter walks for packed snow, ice, salt crystals or chemicals that could cause injuries if left on the skin
Keep all Halloween candy well out of reach to avoid toxicity and intestinal issues if the candy is ingested by your unattended dog
Secure loose electrical cords from holiday lights and decor to avoid chewing risks and chance of electrocution
Ensure any holiday display plants like Easter lilies or floral arrangements are kept completely out of your dog's reach, as they could be toxic
Use noise-cancelling aids like Thundershirts or calming treats if your dog startles, panics, or experiences high anxiety due to loud summer storms or firework displays
Avoid using temptation yard chemicals in the spring when warmer weather brings new grass and plant growth that dogs may want to nibble
Closely monitor and adapt the amount of outdoor time if seeing increased seasonal pests like foxtails, ticks or fleas that could latch onto your dog
Layer walks in winter weather to prevent frostbite and salt paw burns
From the experts: Adjust Exercise Regimens: In hot summer months, opt for early morning or late evening walks to avoid peak temperatures. Keep an eye on your dog's behaviour for signs of overheating, such as excessive panting or reluctance to walk. On cold winter days, protect paws from frostbite and irritation by applying a pet-safe paw balm before walks. Consider booties for added protection against salt and de-icing chemicals that can harm your dog's feet.
