🐾 Summer Holiday Tips for Dog Parents! 🐾

As the summer holidays approach ☀️, many dog owners are preparing for trips. Leaving your pup behind carries hidden health risks ⚠️Routine disruptions stress dogs out, weakening immunity and raising their risk of digestive upsets, anxious behaviours, and infections.

Follow these tips to keep your dog healthy while you’re away ✨

✅ Vaccinations & Parasite Control First – Stay up-to-date on core vaccines, ectoparasite (e.g. fleas/ticks 🦟) and endoparasite (e.g. intestinal worms and heartworm 🪱) prevention

✅ Pick Care Option Based on Temperament – Social dogs may thrive in boarding; shy pups prefer a trusted friend’s home. Multi-dog settings mean stricter prevention protocols are a must!

✅ Assign a Reliable Caregiver – Ensure fresh food/water 🥣, walks 🚶‍♂️, and playtime to stick to routine

✅ Leave Familiar Comforts – Their favourite bed 🛏️ or toy eases anxiety

✅ Pre-Departure Checklist 📋 – Note vet contacts, feeding rules, and meds—no last-minute chaos!
