We are having record breaking heat today. There are many dangers to hot days like these for our pets, from injuries such as burned paws from hot cement on walks or heat stroke, which can happen quickly and be fatal. Keep time outside short for quick potty breaks and have plenty of access to fresh water and air conditioning inside, and never leave your pet in the car.

Stay cool and be safe!
