Understanding Heatstroke in Pets

Unlike humans, pets don’t regulate their body temperature by sweating. Dogs primarily cool themselves through panting and their paw pads, while cats often seek shade and rest. But in high temperatures, their natural cooling methods may not be enough.

Signs of heatstroke include:

Excessive panting or drooling
Bright red or pale gums
Lethargy or disorientation
Vomiting or diarrhea
Collapse or loss of consciousness

If you suspect heatstroke, move the animal to a shaded or cool area immediately. Offer fresh, cool water and contact a veterinarian as soon as possible. Fast intervention is critical.

Did you know June is 🐈 Cats make wonderful companions; curious, affectionate, independent, and endlessly entertaining. Adoption not only saves a life but also enriches yours. When you adopt, you’re giving a cat a second chance at comfort, care, and connection.

Top benefits of cat adoption include:

Supporting local shelters and reducing overpopulation

Helping adult cats, who are often overlooked, find loving homes

Gaining a loyal companion that fits your lifestyle and energy level

Lower adoption fees compared to purchasing from breeders or stores

Many adopted cats come spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped

• Cooked bones (they can splinter!)
• Onions, garlic, chives
• Grapes & raisins
• Chocolate & xylitol desserts
• Corn cobs & skewers
• Alcohol & caffeine
💧 Always offer fresh water in a clean bowl—our Kleanbowl Refills make it easy & safe!

Travel Tips
🚗 Hitting the road? Pack smart:
• Crate or harness for safety
• Food, water, meds, leash, waste bags
• Never leave pets in parked cars
• Stick to their normal schedule
