It’s going to be a hot one these next several days!! Make sure your pets are safe from heat related dangers. Take walks during cooler hours and keep it brief, stay hydrated (No salt water!), avoid asphalt & other hot surfaces including sand, and recognize the signs of heat exhaustion/stroke. Brachycephalic (smooshed face) breeds are more susceptible to heat related illnesses so just keep them inside. These are your Bulldog breeds, Pugs, Boxers, Shih Tzu, Pekingese, Spaniels, etc.
