**🌞☀️ Keep Your Pets Safe in the Heat! 🐶😺**

With summer in full swing, it's crucial to protect our furry friends from heat exhaustion. Dogs and cats can easily overheat, leading to serious health issues. Here are some tips to keep them safe:

1. **Provide Plenty of Water:** Ensure your pets have access to fresh, cool water at all times.
2. **Create Shade:** Make sure they have a shady spot to rest if they're outside.
3. **Avoid Hot Pavements:** Walk your dog early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid hot pavements that can burn their paws.
4. **Never Leave Pets in Cars:** Temperatures can skyrocket in minutes, putting your pets at extreme risk.
5. **Watch for Signs of Heat Exhaustion:** Heavy panting, drooling, lethargy, and vomiting are all warning signs. If you notice these, move your pet to a cooler area and contact your vet immediately.
6. **Limit Exposure Outdoors** Limit your pet’s outdoor adventures to shorter periods of time especially when the sun is at its peak and temperatures exceed 90°. 

Let's enjoy the summer safely! Share this to spread the word and keep our pets cool and healthy! 🐾💧
