Safely Take a Dip During
the Dog Days of Summer
What better way to cool off during these dogs days of summer than with a dip in the pool? On a hot day, your dog may agree that the pool is the best activity for you both to stay refreshed. Whether your pooch loves to dive right in or is more apprehensive, follow these tips to keep your pet safe and cool this summer.  
Don't Leave Pets in Hot Cars
Each year, thousands of family pets suffer from heatstrokes or suffocation after being left in a parked car. Even if you are going into a store for just a second, the results can be tragic. 

In fact, many of the sad stories we hear about animals who die in cars are a result of someone who just had to run in very quickly and grab something. What they and many others don't realize is that in just minutes your car can heat to dangerous levels, which puts your pets at risk. Be proactive and find out what you can do if you witness a pet left in a car!
