Dress them up for the upcoming holiday. Whether you’re getting ready to take those Christmas photos, or just want to get your pets in gear for Halloween, there are so many adorable costumes for your dogs this season. So sit back, relax and check out what’s hot in pet fashion this year. Football Fever and Pumpkin Pooch costumes from DoggieVogue. Taco Dog costume from Calling All Dogs. And Santa Paws Clause Christmas Dog Costume from Whiskers and More Wags.

As the weather heats up, the last thing you want to do is throw on a fur coat and lock yourself inside the sweltering house all day. Unfortunately, your pets generally don’t have the option of throwing on a bathing suit and heading to the pool when summer gets too hot to handle. Some animals, like many types of birds and snakes, thrive in the heat. But for your family’s furrier friends, consider these tips from Cesar Millan’s blog post 4th of July Tips for Keeping Hot Dogs Cool. A zookeeper friend of mine also recommends giving Pedialyte to dehydrated dogs and cats (after you check with your vet, of course), and my own pooch loves to chew on ice when he overheats.

Keeping your pets at a comfortable temperature isn’t your only concern this Independence Day weekend, however–read this Humane Society article on how to prevent Fourth of July festivities from terrifying your canines and cats. And, if you want to celebrate the summer right alongside Fido or your feline, check out our fun collection of pet announcements and party invitations! You might not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, but you can learn how to make this a great summer for every member of your family!

“A dog is the only thing on earth that will love you more than you love yourself.”
Josh Billings

This will either sound outrageous to you or normal cause you’ve done it before. Have you ever celebrated your pet’s birthday? Because there are a number of Doggy Bakeries popping up everywhere with birthday cakes made especially for your pooch, I wasn’t too surprised when I also found a lot of websites devoted to helping make your pet’s day special too. Nor was I shocked to hear that there was about 700,000 pets in the US lucky enough to have owners help them celebrate their birthday.

While I’ll embarrassingly admit that I don’t know the exact date of my dog’s birthday, I do know that she is turning 13 this year. No small feat for a dog. If you have a good dog like mine, you’ll want to celebrate another year with them as well. I found this cute Pet Announcement on Tiny Prints. I edited the text and made them into adorable pet party invites for friends and family.
