Taking Fido to the Shore? Tips for a Safe Beach Day
With the temperatures forecasted to hit close to 100 degrees today and Friday, lots of folks will be heading to the shore to catch the cooling breeze. Here's a guide to make sure the four-legged visitors are safe too.

Beach safety tips for dog owners include some common sense strategies and a few surprises:
- Did you know Fido can get a sunburn just like his humans? According to MrChewy.com
- Cold ocean water may be tempting for Spot to slurp, but too much of it can make him sick. If you see your dog drinking the seawater, encourage him to instead drink plenty of cool, fresh water to stay hydrated.
- Stay watchful for signs of a riptide near the shore. Strong currents can pull your dog into deep waters. Also look out for jellyfish and sea lice.
