Summer Heat and Your Pets
Author: petladySummertime Recommendations
In the Summer temperatures reach into the 90s and 100s. Such intense heat is not only dangerous for humans, but for pets as well. Here are some tips to protect your pets during summer heat waves.Cars are potential death traps during the hot summer months because inside temperatures can climb to more than 120 degrees in just a few minutes, even on a mild sunny day.
It’s best to leave your pet at home while running errands during hot weather. If your pet is panting, has a staring or anxious expression, does not obey commands, has warm, dry skin and a high fever, rapid heartbeat, or is vomiting, lower the body temperature quickly, with cool water either by immersion or by spraying thoroughly with a garden hose. CALL YOUR VETERINARIAN IMMEDIATELY.
If your pet lives outdoors, make sure there is adequate shelter for protection from the midday sun and heat. Outdoor kennels should be well ventilated and in a shaded area. There should always be some shade for the pet to get out of the sun. Also, make sure there is plenty of fresh drinking water available to your pet. Another great idea is to give your pet ice cubes to chew on to cool down. Always place your pet’s water bowl in a shaded area where it cannot be heated by the sun.
- If the temperatures reach into the 90’s or above or the heat index is high, it would be best to bring your best friend indoors.If you are looking for more great pet care ideas and pet supplies at great prices, be sure to stop by First Rate Pets today!

Author: DogsBestFriendHow to Keep Your Cat out of your Houseplants
Author: ILuvPets![]()
There are many varieties of houseplant which are poisonous to cats, so to be safe it is best to avoid an expensive & traumatic trip to the vet by preventing your cat eating the plants in the first place. Below are some suggestions on how to stop cats eating your houseplants.
If at all possible, keep the plants in a difficult to reach location. This is easier said than done as cats are great climbers & jumpers. Place them in hanging baskets or hard to reach spots such as the top of bookshelves.
Provide your cat with a safe alternative in the form of a planter with cat grass or catnip for your cat to chew on.
Spray the plants you don’t want your cat to chew with an unpleasant solution such as bitter apple. Some people recommend Tabasco sauce, however there is a small risk that your cat will get some onto it’s fur & possibly transfer it to the eyes.
Provide your cat with plenty of toys to prevent it becoming bored.
If the above methods fail, you may have to keep any toxic plants in an area your cat has no access to.
