Summer is on the way, and many of us are looking forward to those warm, sunny days. Summer tends to be a very busy time of year for many people, especially those who enjoy activities such as swimming, camping, and hiking. Of course, our canine pals often love to accompany their humans on these sorts of adventures.
One thing that you may want to do—if you haven't already—is make a doggy bag to keep in your car. This should include a pet first-aid kit, as well as useful/emergency items such as food, treats, towels, dishes, a spare tie out line, water, and waste baggies. Add some key paperwork, such as your pet's medical records, your vet's contact information, and a pet first-aid book or brochure, and you're ready for anything! We also recommend keeping at least a gallon or two of water in the car.
Don't take your dog on summer adventures without making sure that he is current on parasite control and vaccinations. Contact your vet clinic Champaign, IL to make an appointment.
