SAFETY IN THE GARDEN...<br />
I love a good scout around the<br />
garden, especially when it’s warm.<br />
Last year, I had a rather unpleasant experience<br />
with some uninvited friends who made their<br />
home on me… bloomin’ cheek!<br />
So in light of that, here is my handy doggy guide<br />
to staying safe in the garden.<br />
TICKS AND FLEAS...<br />
The warm weather brings out undesirable pests<br />
such as fleas, ticks and mites, I know I have had<br />
them!<br />
Make sure your four legged friend is treated<br />
monthly for fleas and ticks. If you find one use<br />
the hook method or seek vet advice.<br />
DRINK...<br />
Make sure that your dog has a fresh bowl of<br />
water always available to them. They will drink<br />
more in the hot weather so you will need to<br />
check and re-fill it on a regular basis.<br />
SUNBURN & PAW BURN...<br />
Dogs love to sit in the sun but don’t let them<br />
bake themselves. If necessary, restrict access<br />
to directly sunny areas and provide plenty of<br />
accessible shady places for them to relax.<br />
Pets with light or white coats or exposed skin<br />
can get sun burnt. Use a sun block on exposed<br />
areas and on the tips of ears, forehead and nose<br />
or any area you feel could burn. Don’t walk your<br />
dog on hot surfaces such as pavements, tarmac,<br />
parking lots etc. as this can burn their pads. If it is<br />
too hot for the back of your hand, it is too hot for<br />
your dog’s paws.<br />
Most importantly have fun in the sun, enjoy it<br />
while it lasts!<br />

SHADE...<br />
Always make sure that your dog has access to a<br />
shady area, whether it is indoors or out. You can<br />
be prosecuted for cruelty to animals if you leave<br />
your dog without adequate shade and adequate<br />
water.<br />
