Really useful tips and advice 👍🏻 By the time my elderly dog decides he’s going to get out of bed it’s too warm for walks so we go in the evening when it’s cooler and he can go in the garden as needed during the day. Enjoy the summer ☀🐶🚶👨‍⚕❤

I had never even heard of pet-friendly sunscreen; many thanks!

How about some HOLISTIC TOPICAL SPRAYS. And where can we find a pet friendly sun screen. Perhaps a couple of sprays WE could make as well as a sun screen please.😅😅

I have two indoor cats in Northern Illinois. It is usually in the 80's and 90's outside, but we keep the A/C on inside. The cats spend most of their time by a window in the sun watching cat TV and sleeping.

The saddest little rough-haired Dackel (Dachshund) I knew lived in Munich and suffered from hay fever. He took his walks on the sidewalk, well away from the occasional tree, and the park was as much out of the question as was the garden.

Do I need to give my kitties flea & tick, heartworm medicine (gave Bravecto & Interceptor to our precious canine furbabies) if they NEVER go outside? If so, at what age do I start? They are 6.5 mos. old now & weigh 6.50 & 6.59 lbs.

Don't need it Scotland hasn't had a summer.

And also, don't forget that walking them on hot surfaces can burn their feet! 🥺

what if you don't want to give your pet these pesticides? Is there another way to prevent these problems in an organic way?
