your pooch is susceptible to the sniffles.
Ask your vet about getting your dog the
canine influenza vaccine. If your pup is
unvaccinated, avoid dog parks, groomers,
and doggy day cares or boarding facilities.4
Remember Where
You Parked
auto Once you’ve pulled
into your spot, open
the Google Maps app
on your phone and tap
your location (marked by
the blue dot). Choose Set
As Parking Location, and
the address will become
a plot on the map marked
by a P. You’ll never lose
your car again—as long
as you don’t lose your
phone.5

Brew Your Tea Cold
