There are several disease precautions that outdoor enthusiasts and their pet companions should take into consideration before their next camping, hiking, kayaking or backpacking trip this summer!  The AVMA (American Veterinary Medical Association) has compiled a list of safety precautions that should be taken when enjoying the outdoors.

Many people's biggest concern about being outdoors in nature is getting attacked by an animal, or suffering from a physical injury. Keep you and your pet safe by mapping out  your trail, and keep a close watch on your surroundings.

Although physical injuries are serious issues, another risk for you and your pet companion are infectious diseases. You and your pet are at a higher risk for this from under-prepared food or contaminated water. There is also the possibility of transmitting infectious diseases through insects such as mosquito's, ticks, fleas and/or mites.

Be sure to take the proper precautions for you and your pet before setting out and about into nature this summer! 

Stock up on Frontline Spray and a Hartz Ultraguard Collar for your dog to protect him or her from fleas, ticks and mosquitoes on your next outdoor adventure. Check out AllPet.com for more information.

Many experts believe that if you’re going to have your pets in the car, they need seatbelts too! When pet owner Leslie may was traveling with her two pets and the cars in front of her quickly came to a dead stop, Leslie feared if she slammed on her breaks someone would rear-end  her. She worried her pets would be seriously injured if this was to occur.

Leslie proceeded to collide with the car in front of her, but she and her dogs luckily left the accident unscathed. Had her dogs not been buckled in, the outcome could’ve been much worse.

With a steady increase in pet owners traveling with their pets, it is important to spread the word about restraining pets when traveling.
