🌞🐾 Hot Weather Alert: Protect Your Pets! 🐾🌞
As temperatures rise, it's important to keep your furry friends safe in the heat! While cats and dogs love spending time outside, high heat can lead to serious health issues like heatstroke and dehydration. Here's what you can do to help them stay cool:
Avoid peak heat: Limit outdoor time during the hottest parts of the day (usually 10 AM - 4 PM).
Provide shade and water: Always have fresh, cool water available, and ensure they have access to a shaded area if they're outside.
Walks at cooler times: Opt for early morning or evening walks to prevent burned paws and overheating. If you can't stand bare foot on the path for 5-10seconds then it is too HOT for your pets.
Limit high energy games that require exertion ie no repetitive games like ball throwing in the heat
Watch for signs of distress: Heavy panting, drooling, or lethargy can be signs your pet is struggling in the heat.
Keep your pets comfortable and safe this summer by staying mindful of the temperature! If you're concerned about your pet's health in the heat, don't hesitate to reach out. 🐕🐈💦
