🐾☀️Summer Safety Tips for Your Furry Friends! 🐾☀️
As the temperatures rise, it's crucial to keep our pets cool and comfortable. Here are some pawsome tips to ensure your fur babies stay chill during the hot days of summer:
☀️ Hydration Station: Always provide fresh, cool water for your pets. Keep their water bowls filled and consider adding ice cubes to keep it extra refreshing!
☀️ Shade: Create shady spots in your yard or home where your pets can escape the sun's intensity. Trees, umbrellas, or even a cozy blanket can provide relief.
☀️ Cool Treats: Whip up some pet-friendly frozen treats! Try freezing dog-safe fruits like watermelon, berries, or even broth ice blocks (salt reduced). It's a tasty way to beat the heat!
☀️ Morning and Evening Walks: Opt for walks during the cooler parts of the day. Early mornings and late evenings are perfect for exercise without overheating.
☀️Paws Off Hot Pavement: Check the pavement temperature before walking your pets. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws. Stick to grassy areas keep walks to the cooler times of the day.
☀️ Grooming TLC: Regular grooming helps keep your pet's coat in top condition. For some pets, a summer trim can provide much-needed relief.
☀️ Car Safety: Never leave your pet in a parked car, even with the windows cracked. Cars can heat up rapidly, leading to dangerous situations for your furry companions.
Spread the love and share these tips with fellow pet parents! Let's keep our pets safe, happy, and cool all summer long! 🌴🐕❄️

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
