Fun in the sun!
I sure hope everyone had the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful weekend with your pets. It was lovely outside and cats and dogs alike will have enjoyed the fresh air. Please remember a few safety issues. All pets must be leashed in Peoria County. Cats too! A fun way for your cat to enjoy the great outdoors is to wear a harness and be under supervision. Remember that cats that go outdoors need different (additional) vaccinations than cats that don’t. All pets that go outside should be protected against fleas and ticks.
There were plenty of outdoor events this weekend. As summer goes on, remember, not all pets enjoy crowds and strangers. Keep your pet protected from the stress and think about what they will enjoy before asking them to participate. For example, fireworks are very frightening and hurt the dog’s ears, so lets not take them to the Fourth of July celebrations. Instead, they will prefer a peaceful night in and will be very understanding if they are not asked to participate.
Summer is full of fun in the sun, enjoy it safely.
