The Dog Days of Summer

Ever heard the expression "The Dog Days of Summer?" It comes from an ancient belief that Sirius, the "Dog Star”, was to blame for the intense heat during the height of summer. In North Texas those hot days can span for weeks putting your AC into overdrive. When the weather gets extreme, it's important to take special care of your family and furry friends to prevent heat exhaustion and stroke. Aside from the usual conditions, the heat and can exaggerate unpleasant pet odor in your home reducing the quality of your indoor air. So, why is it worse in the summer?

• Even the best behaved cats and dogs are susceptible to an accident from time to time and the special chemistry in their urine is activated by heat resulting in odors that are more pungent than usual.
• In addition, pet odor is a multi-layer problem. When your pets eliminate on your carpet, their urine soaks the carpet, the primary and secondary backing and can even reach the hard floor underneath. So although you may have treated the problem at the surface, the heat of the summer can reactivate those untreated spots below resulting in an unpleasant smelling home.
