Bring a water bottle
It’s essential to bring water for your pet on all summer adventures, heat stroke is just as serious in pets as it is in us humans. Dogs, for instance, primarily cool off by panting and through the pads of their feet, but this may not be enough in hot temperatures. Cats, while more heat-tolerant, can also suffer from the effects of excessive heat and dehydration. Always carry a sufficient supply of fresh water and a portable pet water bottle to ensure your pet stays hydrated.
Use a GPS tracker
Another essential item for your summer adventure checklist is a Pawfit GPS pet tracker. This device allows you to keep track of your pet’s location in real-time, giving you peace of mind during outdoor excursions. If your pet happens to wander off or get lost, the Pawfit GPS pet tracker helps you find them quickly and easily. Its durable, waterproof design and reliable performance make it a must-have for any pet owner who loves exploring the great outdoors with their furry companion. You can also track your pet’s activity, calories, and steps!
Pack a first aid kit
A well-stocked first aid kit will help you manage any injuries your pet may sustain. Being prepared can make all the difference in providing immediate care and comfort for your furry friend. Ensure your kit includes items such as gauze pads, adhesive tape, antiseptic wipes, tweezers (for removing splinters or ticks), a pet-safe disinfectant, and a pair of scissors.
Pack nutritious treats
Make sure to pack some of your pets favourite nutritious treats. These treats will play a crucial role in keeping your pet motivated and happy throughout your journeys together. Nutritious treats serve as rewards for good behaviour and provide essential nutrients that will contribute to their overall wellbeing. Try to bring treats that are rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals.
Bring a strong leash
When gearing up for summer adventures with your pet, bringing a versatile leash is crucial. Try and choose one that balances strength and flexibility, such as a bungee leash, which absorbs shock and provides some give during activities like hiking or jogging.
