Did you know that dogs can get sunburned, too? That must be why companies are now manufacturing sun screen for dogs. I’ve come across two brands. There are probably more out there. Epi-Pet Sun Protector Spray (www.epi-pet.com) and Nutri-Vet Sun Defense (www.nutri-vet.com).
Of course the more stylish dogs forgo the spray and wear hats and sunglasses. Check out www.k9koolhats.com and www.doggieshades.com.
For those of you with swimming pools, look into getting a ramp to help your dog get out of the pool easier. There are several manufacturers including www.skamper-ramp.com and Doggydocks Floating water ramp.
For the more electronically savvy, there’s the PoolEye Pool Alarm (which is probably good for kids, too) (www.smartpool.com) and the Safety Turtle alarm (www.safetyturtle.com) which attaches to your dogs collar.
Enjoy the summer!
