Ways to Keep Your Pet Cool This Summer

Summer is a favorite time of year for people and pets. There are far more opportunities for outdoor fun and activities; however, pets can be even more at risk for heat stroke and other heat-related conditions than people.

The top signs your pet is overheating include:

● Heavy panting
● Excessive, thick drooling
● Labored breathing
● Fever
● Nausea/vomiting
● Accelerated heartbeat
● Red gums, tongue, sensitive tissues and skin
● Lethargy
● Dizziness or instability
● Agitation

Heat stroke is a very serious medical condition. If these symptoms do not abate even after the pet has been cooled down, pets should be brought in to a veterinarian or emergency animal hospital as soon as possible.

The following are some important keys to keeping pets safe, cool and comfortable all summer long:

● Minimize physical activity during hot weather
● Never leave pets unattended in a hot car
● Make sure they always have access to clean drinking water
● Don’t let pets walk on extremely hot surfaces like pavement, sand or gravel
● Consider using pet sunscreen for pets with short, fine fur
● Overweight or snub-nosed dogs are more at risk for heat stroke, so keep particularly close watch on them
● Consider providing a pool for pets to splash around in while outside in summer

A safe body temperature is crucial to pet health as well as their enjoyment of the warm summer months. Use these tips to help manage heat exposure and avoid serious conditions like heat exhaustion, heat toxicity and heat stroke.

Did you know your dog can get the flu? Just like you, your pup is prone to this nasty virus. Symptoms such as fever, dehydration, vomiting, and coughing are all possible, and in rare cases, it can be deadly.

The following are some helpful tips to help minimize the odds of your puppy or adult dog getting the flu:

 

1. Stay Informed

Watch the news to find out if there is a flu outbreak in your area or when you might expect one. Forewarned is forearmed.

 

2. During an Outbreak, Keep Them Away from Other Dogs

The only place dogs can catch dog influenza is from other dogs. Because of this, the best measure in preventing the flu is avoiding other dogs when infection rates are highest. If there is a current canine flu outbreak in your area, keep them indoors.

 

3. Get Your Dog Vaccinated

A pet flu vaccine can also help with reducing their chances of becoming sick. This step is especially important if you have multiple dogs.

 

4. Disinfect Often

Dog flu can survive on hard surfaces for up to 48 hours. Clean often using a germ-killing disinfectant on countertops and Fizzion Mopping Tablets for cleaning the floor. Also, make sure to use pet cleaning products like Fizzion pet stain and odor cleaners, which are budget-friendly, 100% non- toxic, free of dyes, safe to use on all surfaces and use 80% less surfactants than most pet accident cleaners.

 

5. Preventative Care

A healthy immune system is the best defense against the flu. Take steps to ensure your dog is receiving optimal nutrition through their pet food and living a healthy lifestyle in terms of activity levels, cleanliness, and routine vet care.

The flu can be a serious health setback for your dog, reducing their quality of life and in rare cases resulting in a fatality. Don’t take chances with the health and wellbeing of your pet. Use these five tips to keep them happy and free of the flu virus.

 

Hundreds of Dogs Lost their Homes in Puerto Rico: Here’s how to Help

At Fizzion, we are more than just a company that makes pet cleaning products. We care about the welfare of animals wherever they live, and especially those who are still waiting for a home of their own.

“You cannot forget the dogs. When you forget the dogs,
you forget what a good life means,”
                                                                        – Sonia Collazo

Life for homeless dogs in Puerto Rico was already difficult before the island was devastated by hurricanes Irma and Maria. Due to an economic crisis, little government intervention and a lack of spaying and neutering, hundreds of strays or satos roamed the island with little hope. Since the hurricanes, many parts of the island still do not have electricity. People also have limited access to fresh food and palatable water continues to be an everyday struggle for many families. Sadly, many pets have been abandoned during this crisis.

 

Hope for Puerto Rico’s Stray Dogs

There are several organizations working hard to care for Puerto Rico’s homeless dogs until today. During this time of hardship, when basic human needs are still lacking, it’s understandable that few Puerto Rican citizens have the extra time or financial means to support local animal rescue groups.

Organizations such as The Sato Project, Second Chance and others, find dogs living on the beach or in the street, provide them with medical care, socialization and much-needed love before relocating them to forever homes.

A Chance to Find A New Home

Early this year, Southwest Airlines flew 62 dogs and cats out of Puerto Rico for adoption in US. Thanks to Lucky Dog Animal Rescue who teamed up with Puerto Rican animal rescue group, PR Animals and Friendship Hospital for Animals for making this special flight a reality!

How You Can Help

Even until today, Puerto Rican pet rescues are still available for adoption via the Lucky Dog website, so if you’re thinking of adding a four-legged member to your family, be sure to check it out and help our fur friends find a new home!

Direct monetary donations are also appreciated, but there are also several ways to support the rescue mission that you may not have thought of:

• Donate your airline miles.

The rescue will use the miles to fly volunteers who transport puppies and special needs dogs to their new homes

• Collect supplies.

Gather supplies such as dog food, water bowls, pet cleaning products, leashes, collars and canine medications to send to the rescue. Directions and a specific list of needs can be found on the organization’s website.

•  Shop at AmazonSmile.

Shop and select one of the rescue organizations from Puerto Rico to receive the .5% donation eligible from that program.

•  Participate in fundraisers at work.

Ask the HR department where you work if your employer will participate in a matching-gift donation or fundraiser.

These simple ways can mean a lot for pets looking for a new home!
