TOP #125 Summer Time Can Bring The Heat and A Bunch of Other Problems If You're Not Prepared w/ Dr. Lyndsey Kingsley @ BetterVet

Theory of Pets Podcast

Hey everyone, my name is Connor Knight and I am the President of Top Dog Tips.

Today, I am joined by Dr. Lyndsey Kingsley with BetterVet and we are going to talk about beating the Summer Time Heat!

We all think of taking a dip in the pool, or going to the beach, or having a couple of beers on the boat, or a nice summer cookout!

However, if you're a dog owner, you know you're about to get that notice from your vet for their heartworm checkup. Believe it or not there are a host of other things that can come with summertime heat depending on where you live.

And we're here to talk about them:

- tools for keeping dogs cool in the heat (towels/bandanas, a cooler, pool time for dogs, ice cubes, cooling vests/collars/pads)

- common pests and animals to watch out for

a. what diseases can be passed and treatments

- loud noises: thunder, 4th of July

- water quality depending on where you live, how to let them enjoy the lake, ocean, and pool

All this good info is just in time for summer! Enjoy!

As a side note, we have recently partnered with BetterVet for a series together.

We wanted to be able to provide expert advice on pet ownership and felt that BetterVet is the one to do it.

BetterVet is a mobile veterinary service.
