Happy Fourth of July! Pet Safety Tips

Happy Fourth of July Weekend! The Fourth of July is one of our favorite holidays here at Equipaws Pet Services.

Signs and Prevention of Heat Stroke in Dogs

They are also trained in how to keep dogs well-hydrated and instructed to keep them to the shade, off the asphalt, and […]

Pet Safety Tips for the Fourth of July

We all love celebrating the 4th of July here in South Florida. BBQ and beverages, friends and family, boats and beaches and the almost always loved signature fireworks. Just like some humans, not all cats and dogs enjoy the flashes and lights. These noisy fireworks can cause them to run away. Other dangers abound- fatty or toxic holiday foods, the danger of overheating on a hot summer day, and debris leftover from a night of […]

Also known as Cane toads, we’ve caught these fat amphibians lurking under bushes during dog walks, or creeping toward dog bowls full of water and dog or cat food on our late night pet sits. Just […]

Dog Water Safety in Miami

We all love water and here in South Florida we have so many dog-friendly beaches and waterfronts to enjoy, from Hobe Beach to the Keys. Just like some humans, not all puppies and dogs know how to swim at all. There are some who know how to navigate water as an instinct (some do it more gracefully than others), but they all depend on us to keep them safe. In addition to that, not all […]

How many walks is too many for dogs?

Many of us are isolating and following guidelines to stay home. With more time to kill, I am seeing so many people and families out walking and running and getting much-needed exercise. A lot of times they are taking their pets with them. While our pets are undoubtedly enjoying this extra attention and activity, please remember that this is a big change for them as well.
