The dog days of summer are here, which means it's time to be extra vigilant with your pets! Take short walks, preferably early morning or late evening in shaded areas. Monitor your pups for signs of heat stroke, and keep in mind that pups with shorter snouts are more likely to suffer from heat related illnesses. #petsafetyfirst #preventheatstrokeindogs #dogsummersafety #corpuschristitx #petsitterlife #certifiedprofessionalpetsitter #certifiedfearfreeprofessional #petsittersinternational

Did you know that 88% of Americans enjoy turkey on Thanksgiving? Interestingly, cuts from carving rank among the top five most common injuries during the holiday. Protect your hands with these turkey-cutting safety tips: 👉Cut safely: Always carve away from yourself to avoid serious injuries. 👉Hand positioning: Place your free hand opposite the side you're carving toward. Never catch meat under the blade! 👉Sharp tools: Keep knives sharp—sharp knives require less force and are safer. Dull knives can still cause injuries. 👉Electric knives: Consider using an electric knife for carving; kitchen shears work well for bones and joints. 👉Child safety: Keep children away from carving, cutting, and chopping. 👉Well-lit workspace: Ensure your cutting area is bright and dry to prevent slips and accidents. 👉Dry handles: Keep knife handles dry to avoid slipping and potential cuts. 👉Minor cuts: If you do cut yourself, apply direct pressure with a clean cloth to help stop the bleeding. Stay safe while carving this Thanksgiving! Check out the link below to read more about ASHT's turkey carving injury prevention tips.🦃✨https://buff.ly/4eLl32y
