The Oscar message for a happier healthier and longer life comes with the complete pet care service and, in conjunction with their range of quality pet food, there is a selection of products that will help to keep our pets cool for summer.

Be prepared…

• The heat breeds fleas and parasites - causing very unpleasant skin conditions if not treated. Prevention is better than cure and Oscar can supply you with all the right treatments to keep the bugs away.
• Grooming - in the summer you need to pay extra attention to brushing and combing your pet’s coat. Removing any loose hair and tangles will help them to feel clean and fresh.
• Water – plenty of it! Always make sure that their water bowls are full of fresh, clean, cool water. Never go out for a walk without taking water with you.
• Keep your pet in the shade or in a cool area at all times - overheating is dangerous.
• Pets with pale skin really do need to wear a sun block – especially on their nose and ears. • Animals too experience skin damage from intense sun rays.
• Heat exhaustion is a little like sunstroke – if your pet is panting excessively, drooling and restless you must slowly cool it down and then go to the vet.

Be aware…

• Dogs die in hot cars. Pet owners must realise that there is no safe way to leave a dog in the car during warm or hot weather conditions.
• If you park your car in the shade, the position of the sun will change.
• A little sun can turn a car into an oven with temperatures of over 49 degrees.
• Dogs' only sweat glands are on the soles of their feet, and up to 90% of their body is covered with hair. Panting and salivating causes them to lose massive amounts of fluid and they dehydrate quickly.
• Very young and old animals are more susceptible to heat.
• Leaving windows open or putting a bowl of water in the car does not help.
• If a dog becomes overheated, give it an immediate shower or bath in cool water. Call the vet as soon as possible. Once a dog goes into shock and loses consciousness it may be too late!
