🇺🇸🐾 LABOR DAY WEEKEND IS COMING! 🐾🇺🇸
Labor Day means one last big summer weekend — BBQs, beach days, boating, parties, family, friends… and of course, our DOGS! 🐶☀️
While you’re enjoying the long weekend, don’t forget a few important reminders to keep your pup safe:
🐾 WATCH THE HEAT — September can still be HOT! Keep fresh water available, provide shade and never leave your dog in a parked car.
🔥 KEEP DOGS AWAY FROM THE GRILL — Hot grills, grease, bones, skewers and dropped food can turn a fun BBQ into an emergency vet visit.
🌭 SKIP THE PEOPLE FOOD — Alcohol, chocolate, grapes, onions, fatty foods and cooked bones can all be dangerous for dogs.
🚪 WATCH OPEN DOORS & GATES — More guests = more opportunities for a dog to slip out. Make sure collars and ID tags are secure and microchip information is current.
🎆 BE READY FOR FIREWORKS — Some neighborhoods celebrate with fireworks all weekend. Keep nervous dogs safely inside and give them a quiet place to relax.
🚤 BOAT & WATER SAFETY — Not every dog is a strong swimmer! Use a properly fitted dog life jacket around deep water and on boats.
🐕 LEASH UP! — Even a normally reliable dog can become distracted by crowds, food, other dogs, wildlife or loud noises. Training is important, but good management matters too!
🇺🇸 Have a SAFE & HAPPY Labor Day Weekend from all of us at Off Leash K9 Training, Jersey Shore! 🇺🇸
And remember… a well-trained dog gets to be included in MORE of life's adventures. ❤️🐾
