Summer can be tough on our furry friends, especially in apartment living. Ensuring your pet stays cool and comfortable is crucial. At Durham Farms, you can make the most of community living while keeping your pet safe during warm weather.

Practice Basic Summer Safety

Start by creating a cool environment in your apartment. Utilize fans and air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature. Make sure your pet always has access to fresh, cool water to prevent dehydration. Limit outdoor activities to early mornings or late evenings when temperatures are lower. When you do go outside, provide shaded areas for your pet to rest. Hot pavement can burn their paws, so stick to grassy areas whenever possible. Never leave your pet in a parked car, as temperatures can quickly become dangerously high.

Local Pet Shops for Petcare

Visit local pet shops for summer essentials to keep your pet cool. Cooling mats, vests, and toys that can be frozen are great options for regulating your pet’s body temperature. Pet-safe sunscreen is essential for pets with light-colored fur or exposed skin. Local pet shops often carry a variety of summer-specific products that can make a significant difference in your pet’s comfort.
