At Sunnyside Village, enjoying summer in your apartment means finding ways to keep your pet comfortable. Warm weather can be tough on pets, so here are some essential tips to ensure their well-being during the hot months.

Practice Basic Summer Safety

In apartment living, keeping your pet cool requires a few thoughtful adjustments. Make sure your living space is well-ventilated. Use fans or air conditioning to maintain a comfortable temperature. If your apartment has large windows, keep blinds or curtains closed during the peak heat of the day to prevent heat buildup.

Hydration is crucial. Always provide fresh, cool water for your pet. Consider using a pet water fountain to encourage them to drink more. You can also add ice cubes to their water bowl to keep it cool.

Outdoor activities should be planned for cooler parts of the day. Early morning or late evening walks are best to avoid the hottest temperatures. Always check the pavement with your hand to ensure it’s not too hot for your pet’s paws. If it’s too warm, opt for indoor play or short, shaded walks.

Local Pet Shops for Pet-Care

Sunnyside Village’s community living makes it convenient to access local pet shops for summer pet care essentials. Stores like PetSmart and Petco offer cooling vests, mats, and other products to help your pet beat the heat. Regular grooming can also help manage your pet’s coat, keeping them cooler and more comfortable.

By implementing these basic summer safety practices and visiting local pet care stores, you can ensure your pet stays happy and healthy throughout the summer at Sunnyside Village.

Storing Winter and Spring Items, Bringing Out Summer Essentials

When preparing your apartment for summer, the first step is to store away winter and spring items. Bulky coats, boots, and heavy blankets can take up valuable space. Consider using vacuum-sealed bags or under-bed storage containers to keep these items out of sight but easily accessible for next year. Replace them with lightweight linens, airy curtains, and summer clothing.

To create a breezy and bright atmosphere, switch out dark and heavy décor for lighter, more vibrant options. Opt for colorful throw pillows, beach-themed artwork, and fresh flowers to bring the essence of summer indoors. Remember, any changes should be non-permanent to maintain the integrity of your rental unit.

Shop Local

Supporting local businesses is a great way to enhance your community living experience. Sunnyside Village Apartments is conveniently located near a variety of local shops and markets where you can find everything you need for summer.

Check out the local farmer’s market for fresh produce to enjoy healthy, seasonal meals. Visit nearby boutiques for unique home décor items that reflect the vibrant spirit of summer. Don’t forget to explore the local parks and recreational areas, perfect for picnics and outdoor activities. Here are a few recommendations:

One of the best ways to get some vitamin D and exercise is to spend time outside. This can be a smart way to escape excessive apartment living and get more involved in community living. Read on to learn about a few of the best spots to visit when the weather’s warm.

Favorite Sport to Relax In The Community

Rather than waste a nice day indoors, you can play mini-golf at Eagle Landing Golf Course. You can take a small group to play a friendly game of golf or go solo and practice your swing. In fact, golf eases depression and anxiety, increases social interaction, and may improve heart health, among other things. Moreover, you can gain peace of mind by visiting beautiful parks like Happy Valley Park and Altamont Park. Some ways to spend time in parks include walking with a friend, jogging, practicing yoga, or walking your dog.

Local Gems

One local gem is Clackamas Town Center. Established in 1981, this shopping mall can be the perfect place to spend a warm day if you need or want to get out of the heat. If you’re bored, you can head to an escape room located in Clackamas Town Center called MindTrix. Additionally, you can go to Hidden Falls Nature Park. Here you can find areas to view the falls, walk down a paved path, and appreciate the natural beauty of flora and fauna. You can also participate in community events such as festivals and concerts. This can be an exciting way to stay entertained and keep a positive mindset during warm weather.

Community Living Counts

In light of this information, you can support local communities when you join in the fun of community living. Doing positive activities you enjoy can motivate others to want to participate too. And when you don’t feel like socializing or doing activities, you can head back to your comfortable apartment.
