At The Shay Apartments, enjoying community living and warm weather means ensuring your pets are comfortable and safe during the hot months. Here are some essential tips to help keep your furry friends cool this summer.

Practice Basic Summer Safety

In apartment living, maintaining a cool environment is crucial. Keep your apartment well-ventilated with fans or air conditioning to regulate the temperature. Ensure your pet always has access to fresh, cool water. Adding ice cubes or a splash of water to their bowl can help keep it chilled longer. Set up a shaded, comfortable area where your pet can relax, away from direct sunlight. Limit outdoor activities to cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late evening, and always check the ground temperature to prevent burns on their paws.

Local Pet Shops for Pet-Care

For additional pet-care needs, visit local stores near The Shay Apartments. Bark & Paws offers a variety of cooling products like vests and mats designed to help your pet beat the heat. They also carry refreshing treats that can help with hydration. PetSmart in Shady Grove is another excellent option for summer pet supplies, including cooling beds and toys to keep your pet entertained and cool.

By following these pet safety tips and exploring local pet shops, you can ensure your pet remains cool and comfortable throughout the summer. Enjoy the season at The Shay Apartments with your happy, healthy pet by your side!
