Special care should be taken of them during summer's "dog days." For example, neither dogs nor cats should be allowed out in the direct sun for long. City dogs should not be walked on the hot streets, except early in the morning and late at night. Lojts of cool water should always be available, and if an animal refuses to eat, he should not be urged. And again, as with humans, these rules are especially valid tor very young, very old, or very fat animals. Some other pointers for summer pet care: If your pet becomes weak, falls over or loses consciousness, make him comfortable and call your veterinarian. The pet may be in a state of extreme shock. Cats often choose to sleep in a hot or stuffy place, such as an attic or closet. During very hot weather, don't let them do this, for cats as well as dogs suffer from heat prostration. Birds and smaller animals also should be protected against extreme heat. Their living quarters should be kept scrupulously clean and fresh water made available daily. Cages should be in the coolest spot in the;.house where there is some motion of air, although not in a draft. Keep handling to a minimum. Fish tanks, turtle bowls, and aquariums should be cleaned often to prevent buildup of decaying matter that can reduce oxygen and prove fatal. Cats and dogs always shed fur as warm weather approaches, so keep them wellgroomed. If your dog has long hair, he should be trimmed. However, the animal needs some fur to protect him from the sun and insects. A dog should not be bathed oftener than once every four to six weeks, winter or summer. Daily brushing will take care of loose dirt. Skin problems for pets are more common in summer than in winter. A good program of cleanliness and a not-too-rich diet help here. •Fleas!

Flea collars, dips and powders are helpful, but be sure you do not use a product designed for dogs on your cat, as it may prove poisonous. Wash and spray your pet's bedding ( and spray any favorite piece of furniture he lies on) for eggs of the parasites will reinfect your animal. Ticks are even more persistent thah fleas and are apt to defy commercial sprays and powders. The best way-to remove a tick is by hand, with a piece of tissue or tweezers. Be sure to check between your dog's toes and under his "arms." Again, bedding and special haunts should be checked and cleaned. Try to make it a comfortable summer for your pet as well as yourself.
