🐾☀️ **It’s the Dog Days of Summer!** 💧🐶
Summer means more time outside, longer walks, backyard adventures and plenty of fun with our four-legged family members. But when temperatures rise, keeping your pets hydrated is especially important and the quality of the water they drink matters, too.
Here are a few simple ways to help keep your pets happy, healthy and hydrated this summer:
🐾 **Keep fresh water available.** Make sure your pet always has access to clean drinking water, especially on hot days.
🐾 **Keep their bowl clean.** Empty, wash and refill your pet’s water bowl regularly rather than simply topping it off.
🐾 **Bring water along.** Heading out for a walk, hike or trip to the park? Bring fresh water for your furry friend, too!
🐾 **Be cautious around outdoor water.** Ponds, lakes, puddles and stagnant water can contain bacteria, parasites, toxins and other contaminants that may be harmful to pets.
🐾 **Know your home's water.** Curious about what's in the water coming into your home? Be sure to have your water tested.
