A note from Laurel
We built this checklist for every dog family in the Reading area, whether your dog comes to us or not. Massachusetts summers hit dogs harder than most owners expect. The heat comes fast and the ticks are active from April through November. Start with section one before your next walk.
All the best, Laurel Britt-Webb · Owner, Pet Companions Bed & Biscuit
