Flat Faced Pet
☀️ Hot Pet Summer Pro Tip: Keep Your Flat-Faced Pet Pals Cool This Summer.
Calling all Pug lovers, Persian pawrents, and brachycephalic breed besties.
Summer fun is for everyone, but our flat-faced friends like Pugs and Persian cats need a little extra TLC during hot weather.
Their adorable, squished snouts make panting less effective, putting them at higher risk of heatstroke.
So, how can you keep your cool critter comfortable?
❄️ Keep your home nice and cool with air conditioning whenever possible.
🐶 Limit exercise in the heat and opt for early morning or evening walks when the sun isn't blazing.
💧 Provide fresh, cool water readily available throughout the day.
🦴 Invest in a cooling mat for pets to lounge on and try frozen dog-safe treats or cat-friendly DIY popsicles for cats.
⛱️ Make sure your furry friend has access to shaded areas outdoors, especially if you must take them out during the day.
Remember, these tips are especially important for senior pets, overweight companions, and those with heart or lung issues.
Let's all have a safe and cool summer!

Third Chance
Did you know the Irvine Animal Care Center Third Chance for Pets program offers a lifeline to animals in need?
This program takes in animals from overcrowded shelters and difficult situations, giving them a third chance at finding a loving forever home.
Why is it called Third Chance? Their first home was their first chance, the shelter they were brought to was their second chance, and the center is their Third Chance.
Here's why Third Chance is so special:
🐕 Many animals in overcrowded shelters face limited adoption opportunities. Third Chance brings them to the Irvine Animal Care Center — where they have a brighter future.
🐈 The program has expanded to rescue animals from hoarding situations and disaster zones, giving them a safe haven and a chance to heal.
🐇 Since these animals come from outside Irvine, their care relies on generous donations from our partners.
You can support our Third Chance for Pets program by viewing adoptable pets and giving a deserving pet their forever home. View available animals at cityofirvine.org/irvine-animal-care-center/adopt-pet.
You can also donate to the center and help provide vital care for Third Chance animals. Learn more at cityofirvine.org/irvine-animal-care-center/donate-support.
Together, we can make a difference in the lives of animals in need!
