Summer perils for pets and wise prevention tips
Veterinarians warn summer brings heartworm, parvovirus, fleas, bites and accidents. Keep dogs on leash, cats indoors, up to date on rabies shots, and ensure secure windows and tagging. Register pets, guard patios, and consider two ID tags to curb theft or loss. ASPCA notes pets have more injuries and poisonings in warm months.
