🌡️🐾 Hot Days Mean Extra Care for Our Pups! 🐶☀️
As temperatures climb, it’s more important than ever to keep an eye on our furry friends. Dogs can’t cool themselves like we do — which means overheating can happen fast. Staying cool, hydrated, and protected is key to their safety!
🚨 Watch for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke:
Excessive panting or drooling
Bright red or pale gums
Weakness, collapse, or unsteady movement
Vomiting or diarrhea
Glazed eyes or signs of confusion
💧 Always make sure your pup has access to fresh water, shade, and rest — and avoid intense play during peak heat hours (typically 11AM–4PM).
🔥 Pavement Test Reminder: Press the back of your hand to the ground for 5 seconds — if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for their paw-paws. Hot surfaces can cause painful burns to their sensitive pads.
🚗 Never leave dogs in cars! Even for a few minutes, car temperatures can skyrocket and become deadly.
Let’s keep our pups safe, happy, and cool all summer long — because their health and well-being come first! 💙🐾
