We all love our pets like our kids because that’s what they are. We would do anything to ensure their Happiness, health, and safety. Just like our human children, there are certain things we need to do differently to care for our dogs in summer.
There are many unhealthy situations and possible dangers for dogs in summer that puppy parents, especially new ones, may not think about or even be aware of.
