We say NO pets in hot cars. ❗️But here are a few more tips about hot weather and pets to make sure your furry best friend has a happy and safe summer:
☀ Make sure your pet has access to cool, fresh water. While inside the house and/or outdoors. In the backyard, put the water bowl in a shaded area.
☀ Outdoors, your pet should have access to shaded areas.
☀ Never leave your pets out for long periods of time.
☀ Try to take your doggo for a walk in the morning and evening and avoid the hottest time of the day, usually between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.
☀ Try the pavement test. If you can’t keep the back of your hand on the pavement for 3-5 seconds, it’s too hot for your pet to walk.
☀ If you missed Tartan Tails Veterinary Hospital's RVT Michellea and sweet Anita talking about how to have a ‘Pawsome Summer,’ find the news clip at www.novascotiaspca.ca/in-the-news.
