Summer hazards every pet owner needs to know about

Summer brings longer walks and open windows — but Candace D'Agnolo of Dante & Dory's Pet Emporium says it also brings hazards pet owners may not be watching for. In this episode of Midwest Pet Life, Candace covers: Fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes — conventional and natural prevention options Blue-green algae in lakes and ponds, and why "when in doubt, stay out" is the rule to follow Pool safety and why not every dog that can swim knows how to get out Thunderstorm anxiety and the calming tools that can help Heat stroke warning signs, including a personal story about her dog Dante The 7-second pavement test that tells you if it's too hot for a walk Why indoor cats need extra attention in the heat, too   Have a pet question you'd like Candace to tackle on a future episode?
