Summer is a wonderful time of year in Bayshore communities. You’ve got longer days, warm breezes, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors around your quality-built home, plus so many fun community events to choose from. And it’s even better if you have a pet to enjoy all that summer fun with in our beautifully maintained manufactured home parks.
Whether you’re already enjoying life as a Bayshore resident or considering a move to one of our quality manufactured home communities, here are some tips to make the most of summer with your furry friend.
Explore the Outdoors with Your Pet
Bayshore communities offer easy access to nearby parks, walking trails, and other open green spaces. The best times of day to enjoy these areas are during the early mornings and evenings to avoid the midday heat. When you head out for a walk, don’t forget to pack plenty of water and a few treats to reward your pet.
A daily walk isn’t just good exercise—it’s also an excellent way to meet other animal lovers in your community.
Tip: Use treats to reward dogs for good leash behavior.
Make a Splash (Safely)
Many of our communities are close to waterways, allowing for a variety of water-based activities. Check to see if your town has dog-friendly water features like splash zones or pet-welcoming beaches or lakes. These are the best places to take your furry friend for a dip on a hot day to cool off and have a great time!
Tip: Always supervise your pet around water and check pavement and sand temperature to protect sensitive little paw pads. The Humane Society offers helpful advice on keeping pets cool during hot weather.
Plan a Pet-Friendly Patio Picnic
Use the outdoor space around your Bayshore home site for a simple summer picnic. Lay down a blanket, pack snacks for you and your pet, and enjoy the sunshine! Add a refrigerated chew toy or frozen pet popsicle to make sure your furry sidekick stays cool and entertained while you relax.
Don’t Forget to Stay Cool and Comfortable
If you want to make the best out of the hottest months of the year, be sure to provide your pet with a cool spot to relax during and after playtime. Bring a small doggy tent on outings and then enjoy the built-in comfort of your Bayshore manufactured home when you get back. Just make sure you have a fan or two running and plenty of fresh water to keep your little buddy nice and cool—especially for short-snouted breeds and older pets.
Enjoy Summertime Events in Your Bayshore Community
Many Bayshore Communities host social events during the summer, including BBQs, yard sales, and seasonal get-togethers. It’s worth asking your community manager if you are allowed to bring along your pet and if there will be any pet-themed activities! Look for events where your pup can mingle with others and make new friends–you may make one or two yourself!
Be Aware of Pet Policies
Each Bayshore community is unique, and so are their pet policies. Before moving in—or if you’re planning to bring a new pet home—be sure to check your community’s guidelines or talk to management about pet-related rules.
