As we approach the summer months, it's important to ensure that our beloved pets are safe, comfortable, and happy. Here at Fuzz-e-family.com, we have compiled a list of summer safety tips for pets and ways you can utilize our range of products to ensure your furry friends are safe and sound.
1. Keep Your Pets Hydrated
First things first, hydration is critical in summer. Just like us, our pets can become dehydrated on hot days. Make sure your pet has access to fresh water at all times. Consider using our GF Pet Collapsible Water Bottle, it's ideal for those long walks or day trips with your pet.
2. Be Mindful of Hot Surfaces
We often forget that our pets are much closer to the ground than we are, meaning they're more susceptible to hot surfaces like asphalt. A walk might be a scorching experience for them! One way to keep your pet's paws safe is to use our GF Pet All-Terrain Boots Charcoal.
3. Provide a Cool Environment
Whether it's indoors or outdoors, ensure your pet has a cool, shady place to rest. The US Army Dog Cooling Vest Grey can be very beneficial on those sweltering summer days.
Consider also using our Elastofit® Ice Vest®. This vest is designed to keep your pet cool and comfortable, even in the warmest conditions.

Keeping Cool and Safe
Continuing on from the previous section, one of the other main concerns of pet owners in the summer months is keeping their pets cool. This is especially true for dog owners who walk their dogs daily. If the weather gets too hot, your pets may overheat.
If you have a dog, a GF Pet Travel Harness is an essential summer safety item. This travel harness ensures your dog is safe during walks and road trips. For added safety, attach a GF Pet Seat Belt Tether to the harness during car rides.
Hydration is key to preventing heatstroke. Always carry a GF Pet Collapsible Water Bottle during walks to keep your pet hydrated.
Another effective way to keep your pets cool in summer is using special clothing. For example, the US Army Dog Cooling Vest Grey-1 is a brilliant accessory for your pet in hot weather. The vest can be wetted and as the water evaporates, it cools your dog down. Similar to this is the Elastofit® Ice Vest® which provides a cooling effect to your pet.
If your pets love water, it's a great idea to let them swim. For safety, ensure they're wearing a GF Pet Life Vest Yellow. This vest not only helps them float but also has a high visibility color to easily spot them.
