When you think of summer, do you imagine sunny beach days, sandy toes, and warm adventures? It’s the perfect season for road trips with your dog, exploring the great outdoors, or simply basking in the comfort of air conditioning. Summer offers endless opportunities for fun, whether you’re hiking through scenic trails, picnicking in the park, or just lounging by the pool with your furry friend. The long days and warm nights create the ideal backdrop for making lasting memories with your pup by your side.
We adore summer, but while you’re daydreaming of sandcastles and bonfires, remember that there are hidden dangers that could threaten your furry friend. Don’t let it stress you out—just stay aware of pests, toxic plants, and other hazards that could pose a risk. These threats are real, and the consequences can affect your pup if you’re not careful.
Whatever you and your pup get up to this summer, make sure you’re well-prepared for the common dangers that come with this fantastic season. Take our quiz to test your knowledge and ensure your dog stays safe all summer long!
