Hot Dog? Summer Pet Tips!

Don’t forget about your pup’s paw pads on the hot asphalt! Click the image to read at full size. An article in Fetch Magazine reminds us to keep our pets safe and cool during the summer months. Below is a quick excerpt; click here for the full list and article.

As the dog days of summer quickly approach, pet owners need to be mindful that the hot temperatures and the outdoor environment can create a unique set of hazards when it comes to pet safety.

“Summer is a great time to be outdoors with your pet, but it can also put your pet in jeopardy for a number of health risks,” says Robert Misseri, President of Guardians of Rescue, an organization dedicated to helping animals in need. “Even fit, athletic dogs can suffer heat-related illnesses during the hottest days of summer.”

Here are a few tips to help protect your pet during the sizzling summer months:

 

Donate Just By Shopping in June!

June is your chance to help two great causes simply by purchasing products!

Stella & Chewy’s is reaching out to aid Oklahoma!                          For every Stella’s product purchased, Stella & Chewy’s will donate $.50 for every cat pouch, and $2.00 for every other bag of freeze dried or frozen food or treats to send more food to Oklahoma.

Those who have lost their homes and jobs from the May storms will need help for a while providing for their families, including their pets. There are many missing pets that need housing until their family locates them, and others that are in shelters as their families rebuild their homes.

Fromm is helping to support our Mukwonago Dog Park fund!          For every purchase of Fromm dog or cat food, Fromm will donate $1.00 for every bag up to 5#, and $2.00 for every 12# and over sized bags to the Dog Exercise Area at Mukwonago Park!

They are almost three quarters of the way to reaching their goal, only $6599.67 away! If they raise the amount by August 1st they will start construction this fall! In addition, End of the Leash will match Fromm’s donation! Double the donation, simply by making a purchase in June! 

Please share to spread the word and take this opportunity until June 30th to try new flavors, stock up, and help two great causes! Don’t miss your chance to easily donate by simply purchasing products you already need and love.

Pet Aid for Oklahoma--Update

Throughout the holiday weekend donations came in steadily at the registers and via our web site to aid those affected by the tornadoes.  Your donations will be sent to our partner in Oklahoma City, Mann’s Best Friend (a Red Cross drop off point) for distribution.  Donating is as easy as a few clicks—please visit our website at www.endoftheleash.com/donations.

Countless networks have been set up to help care for injured pets, Facebook sites and lodging for pets waiting to be found by their people, shelters for people to keep their pets safe while they rebuild, vets donating their time with limited supplies and space….there are so many opportunities to help. We are humbled to play a role in one small part of the recovery.

In a quote from an article in Time Magazine, “When everything else in the world is topsy turvy, you want your family around you,” said Sean Vance, an oil field driver, as he sat dejectedly with his son outside of a shelter. “And the family’s not complete without our pets.” (To read more of this article, click here.)

Thank you all for your generosity, as it will take these communities a long time to recover from the widespread devastation.

 

This Week’s Adoptable Pet

The lucky family that adopts one of the pets featured here on our blog will receive a coupon from HAWS good for a “congratulations” gift bag from End of the Leash!

To learn more about how to adopt through HAWS, please visit their adoption page.  You may also give them a call at 262.542.8851.

Click Duncan’s photo for his complete profile at petfinder.com!Duncan from HAWS is featured here this week.

I’m Duncan and I am sort of worried.  You see, I am a ‘senior’ Beagle, 11 yrs old to be exact, and I am competing with some younger Beagle ‘pups’ here at HAWS. 

I have lived with cats and dogs in my other home, but I really, really prefer to be an only child.  Cats stress me out and MAYBE I could live with another calm dog, but we will have to see about that. I probably shouldn’t live in an apartment or condo because, like a typical Beagle, I do some Beagle ‘whooo whoooo…ing’.  You know that yodel we sometimes do!

Anyway, I would love and adult to live with; maybe some retired people that will have a lot of time to spend with me.  I am very sweet and deserve a great home for the rest of my life!

Train your Best Friend @ HAWS who offers classes for puppies through adults. HAWS dogs get a special discount but all dogs are welcome.  Call 262-542-8851 ex 114 or email training@hawspets.org.

Your help is greatly needed and appreciated! Together with Mann’s Best Friend in Oklahoma City, we are gathering and sending relief supplies to Oklahoma.

We are also offering 20% off on all collars and leashes through the end of May.   It’s the perfect time to purchase a new collar and leash for your pet, and donate your old ones!  Donation boxes are available in both our stores.
