At Aster on Main, community living means making the most of your space and surroundings. As the weather heats up, it’s essential to keep your pets cool and safe. Here are some simple yet effective tips to ensure your furry friends stay comfortable during the warm weather.

Practice Basic Summer Safety

When it comes to apartment living, keeping your pet cool can be straightforward. Make sure your home is well-ventilated. Use fans or air conditioning to regulate the temperature. Place your pet’s bed in a cool, shaded area of your apartment. Providing plenty of fresh, cool water is crucial; consider adding ice cubes to help keep the water chilled. Avoid taking your pet outside during peak heat hours. Instead, opt for early morning or late evening walks. If you must go out during the day, ensure that your pet is hydrated and take frequent breaks in shaded spots. Be cautious of hot pavements that can burn your pet’s paws. Check the temperature with your hand before walking your pet.

Local Pet Shops for Pet-Care

Enhance your pet’s comfort by visiting local pet shops for specialized cooling products. Cooling mats, vests, and portable water bottles can provide extra relief from the heat. Regular grooming also helps to keep your pet cool by reducing the amount of fur that traps heat. Local stores often carry these cooling solutions and more, making it easy to find what you need to keep your pet happy during the summer months.

By following these pet safety tips and utilizing available resources, you can help your pet stay cool and enjoy the summer just as much as you do at Aster on Main.
