There are plenty of potential hazards that can cause your dog discomfort during the Fourth of July—from the heat to the fireworks.

Dear Max, Do dogs sweat? –Richard … … … … Dear Richard, We sure do. Us dogs need to sweat to keep ourselves cool just like you humans. We sweat from our palms—err, I mean paws. Ever notice wet paw prints on concrete on a hot day? But that's not the only way we keep ourselves cool, check out this article to learn more.

Max's Mini-Reviews HEEBIE JEEBIES : Heebie Jeebies is no ordinary toy. I love its four squeakers, to me, the more squeakers the better! My humans like that the toy is stuffing free. I tend to get a little overzealous with my toys and can sometimes leave a trail of stuffing in my wake. But with no stuffing there is no messy clean up for my humans which means more playtime for me. SENTRY HC GOOD BEHAVIOR PHEROMONE COLLAR : I hate to say it but I can be a scardy cat sometimes. You know, when there are thunderstorms or loud popping noises from fireworks. But the Sentry HC Good Behavior Pheromone Collar gives me the little extra confidence boost I need during unsettling times. The collar mimics the pheromones that momma dogs give off to their puppies helping keep me calm and collected during times of stress. |
