As summertime approaches, you may be looking
forward to spending lots of outdoor time with your pet. Although social
distancing measures are still recommended for the time being, a walk with your
furry friend will provide a much-needed respite from sheltering-in-place. If
you’re looking forward to summertime with your furry friend, be sure to seek
out dog-friendlyapartments. Once you’re all settled in, here’s what
you’ll need to keep your pet healthy and happy all summer long:
Heartworm Prevention
Heartworms are spread by mosquitos. Once your
furry friend is infected with heartworms, extensive and costly treatment is
necessary to prevent serious health problems such as heart failure. By giving a
monthly preventative (that often doubles as flea and parasite prevention), you
can ensure that your pet stays heartworm-free.
Reflective Leash
Planning to walk at dawn or dusk? Keep
yourself and your pet safe by donning reflective gear. A reflective harness or
leash is a great investment for avid walkers and will provide peace of mind on
every outing after dark.
Collapsible Water Bowl
If you plan to hit the trails or venture into
the mountains for long hikes, bringing water for your furry friend is a must. A collapsible water bowl
offers portable hydration for your best friend so you’ll know their needs are
met during your adventures.
Travel Towel and Life Vest
The Boulder area is home to several beautiful
bodies of water, including dog-friendly Boulder Creek. When bringing your pet
to enjoy a dip in the water, it’s helpful to have a travel towel and life vest
on hand. A travel towel that stays in your vehicle comes in handy when drying
off muddy coats and paws, and a life vest provides safety and security for fearless
pets.
Paw Balm
Sticking to paved roads for your outdoor
adventures? You wear shoes to protect your feet, and your dog will appreciate a
protective layer when walking on hot concrete. Paw balm
is an excellent alternative to booties for dogs if your furry friend isn’t a
fan of wearing footgear.
