Summer is here, and it's the perfect time to bond with your furry family member through outdoor adventures and training sessions. Whether you're heading to the beach, going for a hike, or exploring new trails, we have some fantastic tips to make the most of your summer outings while keeping your pet's well-being in mind. And to add an extra dose of excitement and reward, we've got a selection of treats from The Granville Island Pet Treatery that will have your pet's tail wagging with delight.

Stay Hydrated: Hydration is Key

As the temperatures rise, it's crucial to keep your pet hydrated. Always carry a portable water bottle and a collapsible bowl during your outdoor excursions. Take frequent breaks to offer your pet fresh water, and don't forget to pack our delicious and hydrating treats, such as our Freeze-Dried Salmon or Dehydrated Chicken, which are not only tasty but also packed with essential nutrients.

Positive Reinforcement: Treats for Training

Summer outings provide the perfect opportunity for training and reinforcing good behavior. Our treats, such as the Soft & Chewy Lamb & Kelp Treats or Freeze-Dried Tuna Flakes, are ideal for positive reinforcement during training sessions. With each well-executed command or desired behavior, reward your pet with a treat that is not only irresistible but also made with love and dedication.

Sun Safety: Protect Their Skin

Just like humans, pets need protection from the sun's harmful rays. Limit their exposure during peak hours, provide shade, and consider using pet-safe sunscreen on areas prone to sunburn, such as the nose, ears, and belly. After a sun-filled adventure, treat your pet to our Nutra Bites Skin & Coat Supplement, which supports healthy skin and a shiny coat, ensuring they look and feel their best.

Paw Protection: Mind the Pavement

Hot pavement can burn your pet's paws, so be mindful of the ground temperature during your outings. Opt for walks during cooler hours or in grassy areas. For added protection, consider booties for your pet's paws. And don't forget to reward their resilience with our Dehydrated Beef Liver, a delectable treat that will make their tail wag with joy.

Summer is a wonderful time to create lasting memories with your pet. By following these training and outing tips, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for both of you. Remember, at The Granville Island Pet Treatery, we understand the importance of providing your furry family member with the best treats and supplements. Our commitment to excellence and the well-being of your pet shines through in every product we offer. So, pack your bags, grab our treats, and embark on an adventure-filled summer with your cherished pet!
