Pets love spending the long, sunny days of summer outdoors as much as their owners do! It’s also just as important to protect dogs and cats from the heat, sun and other dangers as it is to protect yourself and your family. These pet safety products will help keep furry friends from wandering away, getting dehydrated and accidentally drowning. This ensures peace of mind and making outdoor fun time relaxing and enjoyable for both of you.
Prevent Dehydration
Outdoor Pet Waterers
Outdoor animals need an ongoing supply of fresh water so they don’t succumb to dehydration. This is especially important when the weather is warm. Make sure your pet has an unlimited supply of cool, fresh water with an outdoor pet waterer that refills automatically.
The Sir Aqua II has a 1.8 gallon heavy duty stainless steel bowl that attaches to any garden hose. The built-in float and valve mechanism adds water as needed without overflowing.
During cold weather months, the electric K&H Stainless Steel Thermal Bowl keeps pets hydrated and prevents water from freezing.
If you prefer a bowl that can be mounted on the side of a wall or fence, consider the RPI TG40 1.5 Gallon Pet Waterer. It’s ideal for dogs of all sizes, as well as all medium to large outdoor exotic pets, horses and other livestock.
Prevent Drowning
Pet Safety Products for Backyard Pools
If your yard has an in-ground swimming pool, keep unsupervised pets and stray animals out of the pool by enclosing it with a pool fence that’s at least 48-inches high. To receive an alert if the pool entrance is left open accidentally, install a gate alarm.
As an added precaution, get a pool alarm that sirens when a person or pet falls or jumps into the water. A water immersion pool alarm like the popular LunaSafe system activates when a special tag worn on your pet’s collar gets wet. This eliminate the possibility of false alarms caused by wind or falling branches.
Water Safety on Boats
If your dog likes to take a swim off of your boat, remember that swimming is hard work for dogs and many tire quickly. A flotation device like the Pawz Pet Products Nylon Dog Life Jacket will protect your pooch while out on the water. It comes in a range of colors and sizes, from extra small to extra large. The LunaSafe immersion alarm can also be used on boats to notify if your pet falls in the water.
How will you keep your pets safe this summer?
