Spring is here with Summer around the corner!

While this time of the year is packed with fun filled activities with family, friends and our canines, we need to be vigilant of the threats that summer brings. It is unfortunate that a Corso has recently fallen victim to a venomous snake bite with a fatal outcome; ITACOR is devastated to hear of this tragic loss, our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We need to take precautions during the Spring to Summer period in prevention for many of these pesty bugs and snakes that can be a nuisance and fatal to our four legged friends. 
Snakes and bugs are part of our natural surroundings, while we can take measures in prevention sometimes fate is beyond us, we can only try our best.
Keeping an eyeful watch around the yard and your dogs bedding areas, while keeping your lawns low and avoid piles of logs and rocks, these are great hiding places where they like to take refuge for the moisture and dark space it provides them. 
Sprays, powders, shampoos and collars are all tools needed for this summer to fight against ticks, fleas, spiders, mosquito and flies. When your heading out always carry a natural insect repellent this will prevent bites protecting your dog against heart worm.
Water is a must, carry a spray bottle, great to squirt in the dogs mouth keeping them hydrated and tummy spray to keep them cool while travelling. 
Just like us our four legged friend needs protection from the warmer weather approaching quickly, call ITACOR for any advise or concerns you may, please feel free to share any tips you may have too.
