Living at Society Westshore offers a fantastic community experience, especially during the summer. However, the warm weather requires extra attention to keep your pets safe and comfortable. Here are some essential pet safety tips to help you and your furry friends enjoy the season.

Practice Basic Summer Safety

To ensure your pet stays cool, maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Use fans or air conditioning and keep blinds or curtains closed during the hottest parts of the day. Always provide fresh, cool water for your pet. Using a pet fountain can encourage them to drink more.

When taking your pet outside, plan walks for early morning or late evening when temperatures are lower. Before heading out, check the pavement temperature with your hand to prevent burns on your pet’s paws. Never leave your pet in a parked car, as temperatures can rise dangerously fast. Cooling mats or damp towels for your pet to lie on can also help them stay cool indoors.

Local Pet Shops for Pet-Care

Living in a community like Society Westshore gives you easy access to local pet care resources. Nearby pet shops offer various products designed to keep pets cool. Look for cooling vests, pet-safe ice packs, and portable water bottles at stores such as PetSmart or Petco.

Grooming is essential during summer to manage your pet’s coat and keep them cooler. Many local groomers offer mobile services, bringing convenience directly to your apartment. Regular grooming helps prevent overheating and keeps your pet comfortable.

By following these summer safety tips and utilizing local pet care resources, you can ensure your pet stays cool and comfortable. Enjoy the warm weather with peace of mind, knowing your furry friend is safe and happy in your apartment community.
