pet life

The days are longer, the weather’s warmer (hopefully) –  now is the perfect time to get out and about with your pets.

Fun in the sun

Whether you like your walkies in the city or on the beach, or just want to chill out at a pet-friendly pub, there are lots of places for you to spend quality time with your best friend this summer.

Life’s a beach

If you’re heading off for a day on the beach, you might want to pack a few pet essentials along with the sun cream and towels to keep your beach buddy safe and happy.

Bring plenty of water and try to stop your dog guzzling any seawater as it can make them sick. Also, think about bringing a beach umbrella or pop-up shelter to give you both a break from the heat – and don’t forget the doggie sunscreen, especially for pups with light or thin coats.

Most dogs love walkies in the waves, but keep them away from crowded areas or rough surf. Some dogs are better swimmers than others – if in doubt pop on a pet life jacket and always keep a close eye on them.

Pets and the city

For dogs, sniffing round a new city can be exciting – but for some pets the sights, sounds and smells of a big town or city can be a bit overwhelming.

Here are our top tips for keeping pets happy in the city

  • Gradually introduce your dog to busier areas and reward calm behaviour
  • Make sure they have a secure collar, ID tag and strong lead. Use a slip lead if your dog is very nervous
  • Check pavement temperatures before walking your dog on hot days
  • Avoid dropped litter and food as they contain harmful bacteria
  • Make sure vaccinations are up to date and check where the nearest vet is
  • Pigeon poo can be harmful to dogs so keep them away from contaminated areas
  • Make sure city kitties are completely secure inside a cat carrier before you leave your accommodation.
