Keeping Your Pet Cool This Summer

Living at The Kittredge offers the comfort of community living, but as the warm weather heats up, keeping your pet cool becomes a priority. Here’s how you can ensure your furry friends stay safe and comfortable during the summer months.

Practice Basic Summer Safety

In apartment living, managing your pet’s temperature is crucial. Keep your home cool with air conditioning or fans, and always provide fresh water. Adding ice cubes to their water bowl can make it even cooler and more refreshing. Limit outdoor activities to cooler parts of the day, like early morning or late evening. Avoid walking your dog on hot pavement, which can burn their paws. Stick to shaded areas and take breaks often. Ensure your pet has a cool, comfortable spot to rest indoors.

Local Pet Shops for Pet-Care

Explore local pet shops for additional cooling products. Many stores offer cooling mats, vests, and other accessories designed to help regulate your pet’s body temperature. Regular grooming can also help by reducing the amount of fur that traps heat. Visit nearby pet-care retailers to find the best solutions for your pet’s needs and keep them feeling their best throughout the summer.

By taking these steps and utilizing local resources, you can help your pet stay cool and comfortable while enjoying the perks of living at The Kittredge. Keep an eye on your pet’s well-being, and they’ll be ready to enjoy all the fun that summer has to offer!
