This weekend marks the unofficial end of summer. Do your plans involve your dog? While having fun is your goal, don't forget to keep your dog safe. Here are some some basic safety tips for you to brush up on:
- Poisonous People Foods: Labor Day usually means grilling out. As much as your dog wants to be a part of the fun, remember that not all food is safe. There are many types of people foods that can poison your dog. Learn what foods to avoid.
- Summer Safety for Dogs: Although the end of summer is near, it's still pretty darn hot in many parts of the country. Don't forget to keep your dog cool this weekend.
- Keep Your Dog from Becoming Lost: It's easy to get caught up in the festivities, but don't let your dog fall through the cracks. Keep track of your dog, and remind guests to keep doors and gates closed.
Hopefully, you are one of the lucky people who have Labor Day off. If so, enjoy your long weekend!
