> Hey everyone!

> Our monthly spaw day will be this Saturday June 13th from 9am-4pm. Space is limited so please let us know in advance if you would like to sign your dog up for a bath and nail trim or ear cleaning!

> With the summer heat approaching quickly I just wanted to remind everyone to be cautious when out with your dogs. Take walks in the early morning or evening when the weather has cooled and always use your bare hand or foot to check the temerature of the ground before going out. Even just a few minutes on the hot ground can really burn paw pads which is very painful. When going to the beach keep in mind that the sand is extremely hot during the day and even just walking back to the car can be dangerous. Some good options to protect paws in the summer are dog booties which can be worn daily and are the most effective for the hot ground. Make sure to measure your dogs paws before ordering them because sizing is important to insure they will be worn comfortably and wont create blisters. Ruffwear has some great options which are durable, or check out Amazon for something less expensive.

> Another option is Mushers Secret which is a 100% wax-based cream to rub on their paws and aid in protecting against the hot ground, sand, and salt.
> 
> For something natural check out the Natural Dog Company (www.naturaldogcompany.com.) They have two differnet products for paws which can be used together. One is the "Paw Soother- which is an organic 100% all-natural oil and herbal-based blend. Paw Soother is specially formulated to heal rough, chapped, dry dog paw pads." And the "PawTector- which is an all-natural wax based blend made to protect soft and delicate paw pads against heat, cold, sand, salt, and snow. PawTector acts as a nourishing barrier against the elements for precious paw pads."
> 
> We also have a paw pad protection cream here at Nose from Aroma Paws which we use as part of the "Luxury Pedi" for Spaw Days! Let us know if you would like to schedule a luxury pedi which includes a nail trim for just $15 at our upcomping Spaw Day this Saturday.
> 
> Keep in mind that paws arent the only things that need protecting in this heat. The Natural Dog Company also has a product to help protect their noses. "A dog's nose is highly sensitive and can become very painful when their tissues are dry, chapped or cracked.
> No pet owner wants to see his or her pet in pain or discomfort and Natural Dog Snout Soother can come to their rescue.  Our nose balm for dogs is the perfect blend of 100% all natural nourishing, healing and moisturizing ingredients.  Our soothing balm can be applied to a dog's nose as a preventative measure for dryness or cracking or it can be used to treat painful cracking and dryness that has already occurred."
> 
> Always remember to carry lots of water with you when out with your dog and keep an eye on them and watch for signs of overheating. Never ever leave your dog in the car where temperatures reach dangerous levels very quickly. Take advantage of our 3 hour playcare option (Just $11!) if you need to run some quick errands on a day your dog is out and about with you.
