Summer pool days are the best - just keep those paws out of the water bowl! 🏊‍♂️🐕
Pool chemicals aren't meant for furry tummies and can cause some serious stomach troubles. Keep a fresh water bowl nearby and watch for signs like drooling or tummy upset if your pet takes a sneaky sip.
Better safe than sorry when it comes to chemical exposure! 🐾💙

If your pet ever gets lost, multiple forms of ID can make all the difference. An ID tag lets someone reach you quickly. A microchip helps vets and shelters contact you. And a GPS tracker can even help you find your pet in real time. Each method adds a layer of safety and increases the chances of a happy reunion.

🐱 Outdoor time can transform your indoor cat's life!
The sights, sounds, and scents of nature engage your cat's natural hunting instincts in a healthy way while providing exercise and reducing stress and boredom.
Harness Training Tip: Practice indoors for short periods with treats and praise. Gradually increase wearing time and always be patient.
