Dog Days of Summer Safety at Cabo Dog Boutique!

Summer can be an exciting and fun time for families and pets alike. The kids are off from school so they can relax and play more, parents often save up all that precious time-off for a summer vacation and there is few things more pleasant than relaxing by an outdoor swimming pool.

Although exciting, summer can also be a tough time on pets. Here are some summer safety tips for your dog:

Dog Vaccinations

Stay up-to-date on all pet vaccinations. Warmer weather brings mosquitos and the increased time spent outside means that your pet has a higher likelihood of getting bitten by a mosquito or tick. These critical pet vaccinations can help prevent your pet from “feeling the sting”.

If they do feel the "sting" Cabo Dog Boutique has a effective way to help - the Itch Relief Dog Spray has Grapefruit seed Extract to prevent both bacterial and fungal infections. This dog Itch Relief spray eases the discomfort of itchy skin caused by minor irritations and insect bites and helps relieve hot spots. The dog spray also combats inflammation and has powerful antioxidant-like properties.

Your dog in the Summer Heat

Be aware of how hot pavement and roads can burn the paw pads of your pup. Try and walk your dog on grassy surfaces to prevent burns and calluses from building up on their feet. 

You can find some great doggie socks to help protect those little feet. These dog socks are disposable and yet pretty dang cute!

Water Safety for your Dog

Swimming can be a great way to get your dog active during the summer but heed caution if they aren’t used to it. Slowly introduce them by allowing them to jump in the pool by their own will and praise them for paddling. Always keep your eye on your pet as undercurrent and swells at lakes and oceans can be dangerous. 

If your dog has never been in water or you are unsure of how he will perform - you need a dog floatation device. The Doggy Flotation Device has been designed and extensively tested to give your dog the most ergonomic and comfortable fit possible.  This unique Ultra-buoyancy Foam is strategically positioned within the dog life vest to keep your dog in a natural swimming position at all times. Unlike other dog life vests, the Doggy Flotation Device does not hinder your dogs' natural movement and can be quickly and easily fastened and removed.

So soak up some rays this summer and help make it the most enjoyable time of the year for you.. and your pet and shop Cabo Dog Boutique for all the latest dog beach apparel and summer dog accessories.
