If you are planning a summer trip with your dog to the beach, then do think about some of the specific issues you may encounter. Some problems are linked to the warmer summer temperatures, but others are directly linked to the seaside location.
Take sun protection for your dog - particularly if they have pale fur or a thin coat.
Broken shells, sharp stones, sticks and debris washed up on shore can easily cut dogs' paws or mouths.
Make sure you take plenty of fresh water to keep your dog hydrated or can easily reach a café.
Try providing some shaded areas using parasols or tents.
When temperatures rise know the signs of heatstroke and act fast.
Flexitags was inspired by owner Karen Jordan's dogs Bella and Betty, who kept losing their dangly ID tags after a run in the woods .... "Every tag is engraved with care, using diamond tips to ensure the engraving quality is of the highest standard. l only use the best quality for Flexitags, a fully anodised aluminium ( inc edges ), lightweight curved tag, available in 11 beautiful colours, made to last without fading. We believe dogs shouldn't be aware that they're wearing ID Tags, so no more jingling, jangling or dangling when you use Flexitags."
