Summer brings unique eye challenges – dust, pollen, chlorine, and UV exposure can all irritate sensitive eyes.

Watch for excessive tearing, pawing at eyes, or squinting. Some pets benefit from protective eyewear during long outdoor adventures!

Red, swollen, or cloudy eyes need prompt veterinary attention. Schedule an exam if you've noticed changes! https://us.vetstoria.com/booking/6605e57f0a9d7/?r=6

Let's talk about our pets' most interesting summer habits!

Dogs who are wary of sprinklers, cats who request ice cubes but ignore water bowls, pets who insist on sunbathing in warm weather, or those who think air conditioning vents are personal cooling stations. Share your pet's unique summer quirk!

Emergency preparedness includes our pets! Keep pet carriers accessible near exits, include pets in evacuation plans, and consider pet alert stickers for windows.

For apartment dwellers: know which exits allow pets during emergencies.

Most importantly — if you're safely out, don't go back for pets. Contact emergency responders instead.

We're looking for the most ridiculous summer pet moment!

Is your dog terrified of sprinklers yet loves swimming? Does your cat sunbathe in impossible locations?

Heat wave got your active pet bouncing off walls?

Transform your living room into an indoor agility course! Use sofa cushions for jumps, rolled towels for weave poles, and cardboard boxes for tunnels.

Mental stimulation tires them out when physical exercise outdoors isn't safe. Share your DIY indoor pet entertainment hacks!

Forget everything you've heard about removing ticks with petroleum jelly, burning, or twisting — those old tales can make things worse!

Here's what actually works: fine-tipped tweezers, grabbing as close to the skin as possible, and pulling straight up with steady pressure. No twisting!

Bring us any embedded ticks you're uncomfortable removing. What's your tick horror story?

Think your dog's a natural swimmer?

Surprisingly, many aren't! Even water-loving breeds can struggle with exit points in pools.

And did you know cats can actually swim but their tolerance for water varies by breed?

Maine C***s often enjoy splashing while Siamese typically perform Olympic-level jumps to avoid droplets.

What's your pet's weirdest water behavior?
