Pets & heat
Remember to take a moment to think about your household pets as the season changes.
Here are some important tips suggested by Pets for Homes to keep your pets safe during this hot (and only getting hotter!) period.
Staying hydrated: Ensure pets have access to freshwater and shade to prevent heat stroke. Avoid walks during peak heat. Use cooling mats or vests if needed.
Hot Surfaces: Protect paws from hot pavements by walking pets in cooler hours or using protective booties.
Wildlife Safety: Supervise pets outdoors to prevent encounters with venomous animals. Train pets to avoid snakes and spiders and regularly check your property for these dangers.
Skin Protection: Apply pet-safe sunscreen to sensitive areas and provide shaded areas to prevent sunburn.
Parasite Prevention: Apply preventive treatments for ticks and fleas and inspect pets frequently for infestations.

Gutters
A Friendly Reminder from Our Office Manager, Cooper
As the seasons change, remember the importance of caring for our homes. While cleaning gutters may seem like a minor task, it’s essential for preventing damage during rainy periods including reducing the risk of mould.
Keep in mind that insurance companies might deny claims if your roof is not properly maintained, which includes the gutters. If water seeps in and causes damage during a storm, and the insurer discovers that the gutters haven’t been cleaned, it could result in a reduced payout or even a complete denial of the claim.
Scott and Glasshouse Building & Maintenance are able to provide you with an amazing offer for gutter cleaning. Scott is offering a special deal to clean your gutters, starting from $299 per house! *Conditions apply. This offer is only valid for the month of September, so take advantage of it!
