Summer is here! Cars get hot, even on Whidbey Island!

~ WARM WEATHER ALERT ~

Islanders! We’ve got some warmer weather heading our way as summer temps are finally here. As things heat up, please make sure to take proper precautions with not only yourselves, but your pets and livestock too!

Here are some quick tips for keeping cool and safe:

~Never leave pets alone in a hot car, as internal temperatures can spike immensely. Even if you have the AC on or a window cracked, pets are at risk of heat stroke or organ failure.

~If you have AC, use it! Fans don't work as well, but should definitely be used if you don't have an air conditioner. Put a bowl of ice behind a fan to blow cool air. You can even set up a “cooling station” in a shady spot with a fan blowing, ice packs, and a bowl of water.

~Ice packs or frozen water bottles are great for your dog to rest on and keep cool. Kid pools are also great for when hot dogs need a dip.

~Flat faced animals such as Pugs and Persians are more susceptible to heat as they can’t pant as effectively. Very young and senior animals, as well as those with heart and lung conditions, are also likely to be more affected.

~Be sure to test the temperature of the asphalt, as it can cause real damage to your pet's feet and will be hotter than the outside temp.

~Symptoms of overheating include excessive panting, difficulty breathing, increased heart rate, increased respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor, collapse, seizures, bloody diarrhea, vomiting and elevated body temperature.

~For livestock, please be sure they have a constant supply of fresh water, access to shade, and proper ventilation.

Stay cool!

Crate Games was one of the best things I taught Kip when he was a puppy. Now working with Katie. Susan Garrett is amazing. Well worth the $30. Helps dogs Love their crate.

See why Crate Games is the cornerstone of Susan Garrett’s unbelievably successful dog training program and why it is now being implemented in dog training schools all over the world! Puppies, rescue dogs, and adult dogs can all play.
