It’s reaching those high temperatures a lot more lately coming into Summer so don’t forget about your fur covered family!
Make sure they have access to multiple water supplies in the shade to keep them cool.
How can you keep your pets cool during hot weather?
• Make sure that your pets have access to multiple sources of water around your house and yard. Don’t give your dogs ice water. Offer single ice cubes instead.
• Make sure your pets have access to shade at all times of day. Gardens, kennels, shade cloths, umbrellas, outdoor tables, sheds, ect.
• Walk your dogs early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Try to take routes on your walk that have shade along it.
• Wet your pets paws. The water on their feet will help keep them cool.
• Apply pet safe sunscreen to your pets ears and nose to protect them from the sun. You can find pet sunscreen at most pet supply stores.
Don’t forget to look for signs of heat stroke. If you notice any signs or symptoms, contact your vet and keep your dog cool.
