Summer is here, and that means it’s time for backyard barbecues and festive gatherings. While these events can be a great way to enjoy the warm weather with friends and family, it’s important to ensure they’re also safe for all attendees—including our furry friends. At CityVet, we’re here to help you keep your dog healthy and happy during your summer celebrations.
Several barbecue and summer foods can be harmful to dogs. Here’s what to keep out of paw’s reach:
If you suspect that your dog has ingested any dangerous foods or objects, act immediately:
The July heat can be intense, and overheating can be a serious risk:
Consider setting up a cooling mat or a kiddie pool for your pet to relax in if they enjoy water.
