Heat Stroke and dehydration can be fatal for our pets. Due to this, we are getting behind ‘Pet Hydration Month’ this December to help pets enjoy the summer as much as you do.
Heat Stroke and dehydration can be fatal for our pets. Due to this, we are getting behind ‘Pet Hydration Month’ this December to help pets enjoy the summer as much as you do.
The weather is certainly warming up and it looks like we could be in for a long hot summer! With Australia reaching temperatures of up to 40 degrees Celcius, we need to be prepared! While many of us are dreading the thought of the warmer weather, it's not just us that will feel it.
How do we make our busy schedules work with our love for animals? There are some great products that help us look after our pets when we aren’t home to ensure they are safe, fed and watered. You won’t need anybody to enter your house- unless your home is a literal jungle and you’re worried about the plants dying.
Even when we feel like it's too cold or dark to go outside, we need to consider our dog's physical health. If they aren't being taken on regular walks, they require another form of physical activity to supplement the exercise they're missing out on.
Just like humans, dogs need to exercise all year round. Statistically, dogs are more likely to encounter weight problems than cats. These weight problems can lead your pet to a shorter lifespan, poor quality of life and even obesity.
The Julius K9 Powerharness is the world leader in its field, currently being used by leading law enforcement dog squads, search and rescue teams, therapy dogs and it is the perfect harness for pets who are simply heading down to the dog park or beach for a run!
The Australian Pet Welfare Foundation is determined to make a change. Ready Pet Go supports them with a portion of sales being donated every month for the remainder of the year...

If you’re looking for a way to keep your dog safe, secure and comfortable on your next holiday, we recommend a harness, dog seatbelt or ute lead, and a non-spill water bowl. Your dog will be safely and comfortably restrained and hydrated wherever you travel, whether inside or outside the vehicle.
We hope this helps clear up any confusion about the laws for travelling with your dog. Hopefully, everyone gets to have some time off over the Easter break. Remember, dogs can’t eat chocolate!
