Summer at the beach sounds like a dream for dogs… until hot sand, salt water, heat stroke, or toxic algae turn a fun day into an emergency.
In this podcast-style conversation, Angela and I talk through the summer safety risks many pet parents do not realize when visiting the beach, moving to the coast, or simply spending more time outdoors with their dogs.
We cover the not-so-obvious hazards, including:
Hot sand and burned paw pads
Salt water toxicity from drinking ocean water
Blue-green algae and why it can be deadly
Heat stroke warning signs
Dehydration and overexertion
Why some dogs are at higher risk
Beach routines that help keep your dog safer
This is not about scaring you out of enjoying summer with your dog. It is about knowing what to watch for, planning ahead, and not assuming “they’ll be fine” just because they’re having fun.
Dogs do not always know when to stop. That’s our job.
