JULY'S HOT TIPS

July can be stressful for your dog. July 4th, Monsoon season, or even going on vacation adds all kinds of issues that can arise with your family pet. With the fireworks, or monsoon storms that have loud noises that their not familiar with, I can't stress how important it is to get them out and add a double dose of activities or exercise to help them release their anxieties or fear that comes out before these times. Let's face it, we as humans can get fearful at some things we don't know about either. No less true for our pets, even if we're just going on vacation. Last time we left for vacation we thought that our youngest female knew we were leaving a couple days before we actually left. (We have six of our own now.) We cram everything in at the last minute to get ready to leave for our trip, and forget all about the needs of our pets. The more we do for them before we go the longer it'll carry with them before you return. Do your diligence, and spend a little extra time walking, playing, and spending time with them before you go. And yes, she was just fine with a couple extra spins around the block. It gave her the reassurance and fulfillment she needed. Check out the people or places that you use to care for them thoroughly. Make sure they'll adhere to your schedule. That'll make things a lot easier for when you return. If you still have nervous or stressful issues with your pets, please consult a professional before it gets worse
