Pooch & Mutt has published top tips to help shop owners keep their customers happy this summer. The tips include ways to treat your dog over the summer months and important safety messages.

1. Keep Your Dog Occupied: When the temperature starts to soar, keep your dog entertained for hours with this refreshing delight: Take your dog’s favourite treat and freeze it in water overnight. This is a cost effective way to keep your dog hydrated and cool all summer long. The frozen treat is refreshing and can be used as a healthy alternative to help keep your dog cool during the long days of summer!
2. Don’t Let Constant Itching Ruin Your Summer: There is nothing worse than watching your poor dog scratch themselves repetitively. Stop itching and scratching with Pooch & Mutt’s Bionic Biotic, a natural supplement designed to naturally aid skin, coat, digestion and overall immunity. With a unique blend of pro and prebiotics, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals it is a guaranteed way to give your dog relief this summer.
3. Avoid Chicken Bones at BBQs: Enjoying yourself at a BBQ is a summer staple! Go on and indulge, but make sure not to feed your dog any of your left over chicken bones. Cooked chicken bones are brittle and tend to break as they are chewed by your dog. This could potentially lead to many dangerous problems, including choking or fragments becoming lodged in your dog’s mouth, throat, esophagus, or internal organs.
4. Lots and Lots of Water: Don’t ever let your dog go without water. As simple as this sounds, make sure you always have an abundant supply of fresh, clean drinking water for your dog. During the summer months, it can be very easy for your dog to become dehydrated. So make sure you stock up on some H20 and stay active with your furry friend this summer!
5. Never Leave Your Dog in a Hot Car: NEVER EVER leave your dog alone in a hot car. This point cannot be stressed enough, as every year, dogs suffer and die when their owners make the mistake of leaving them in a parked car. Even for just a minute, parked cars are deathtraps for dogs as the temperature inside a parked car can soar in just minutes. Don’t make the mistake of leaving your dog alone in a car this summer and make sure you call 999 if you see another dog left alone.
6. Stay Calm During Car Journeys: Don’t let your dog’s anxiety ruin any summer road trips you have planned. Keep them calm by feeding Pooch & Mutt’s Calm & Relaxed natural, hand baked biscuits. The treats are ethically sourced, low in calories and wheat free. Chamomile and l-tryptophan have been added to naturally keep your dog relaxed. Give these treats to your dog before any stressful situation such as vet visits, car journeys, fireworks or as a nice bedtime snack.
