They Transmit Parasites that live on the outside of our pets are also present in much higher numbers during the warmer months. In addition to the direct harm they do, they also transmit diseases. When pets are outdoors, they are more likely to get plant material in their fur, and get wet and dirty. Keeping the ears, skin and coat clean will prevent skin infections and irritations. Body odor and litterbox odor also tend to increase in warm, humid weather, but there are measures we can take to reduce the odor.
More time outdoors means more time for fun and exercise.
It also increases the chances our pet could run after another animal or a vehicle and become lost or injured. Nametags, collars and leads help keep our pets safe. Spring and summer are times when we travel more with our pets. Proper equipment and planning can make travel easier and safer for you and your pet. Sun and heat can harm our pets, and we need to provide them adequate protection from both.
