Six tips to keep your pets cool

September 24, 2017UncategorizedBy Caloundra Pet Resort

The heat is officially on. And while us humans might relish the warmer weather, for some pets summer can be overwhelming. That fur that kept them cosy all winter can be a burden in the heat. So here are our top tips for helping your pets keep their cool this summer:

 

  1. Keep playtime to early morning and late afternoon or evening. Exercise is important, but you should always avoid the sun and the heat of the day
  2. Keep your pets inside, in a well-ventilated room. If your pet spends most of his time outside, ensure there are shady areas and cool places he can retreat to.
  3. Even if you do take care to keep your pet cool, he can still get overheated. So keep an eye on the signs of dehydration and heat exhaustion. These can include excessive panting and difficulty breathing, weakness and vomiting. Get straight to the vet if you notice any of these concerning signs.
  4. Keep those water bowls filled and top up more regularly than you do in winter. Ensure your water bowls are wide and deep and can’t be knocked over. And leave them in shady spots. Water in a stainless steel bowl in the sun gets hot very quickly.
  5. Some breeds are more susceptible to respiratory and heat-related health conditions, so if you have a breed such as a Pug dog or Pekinese cat, take a trip to the vet now for a pre-summer health check. Older pets or those with certain health conditions are also at risk, so be extra mindful of keeping these pets cool.
  6. Never, ever leave your pet in the car. Ever.

  • I have been putting my Ragdoll Cat into the Caloundra Pet Boarding for two years now, And Feebee is quite settled there every time.. Sarah is very kind and caring.  I can go on a holiday with no fear that my baby girl is well looked after.

  • We are very happy with the service you provide and so is our dog Buster.

    He gets so excited when he realises he is going to the Pet Boarding so it can’t be too bad.

    I have found the Kennel staff to be very caring and proficient in every aspect of what they do.

    I find it to be a friendly and fun place to leave your pet.

  • Dukey loves coming to Caloundra pet Boarding, just about pulls our arms out when we pull out the front,

    Always looks healthy and happy when we pick him up,

    The service from Sarah is great, she goes out of her way and shows a genuine love for dogs.

    Best boarding dukey has been to, when pick him up dosnt even finish his first  meal when home  as he has been  well fed, which I must say is so different from other kennels he has been too.

    Great place, book your dog in for its next holiday.You want regret it and they will love it.

    Just like Dukey.
