🌡️🐾 Heat Wave Warning for Pet Owners! 🐶🔥
A heat wave is expected to hit this weekend, and while we may be able to cool off with a cold drink and the A/C, our pets rely on us to keep them safe. Please take precautions — especially with your dogs — during these dangerously hot temperatures.
Here are a few important reminders:
🚫 Avoid walking dogs on hot pavement – Asphalt can reach 125°F+ on an 85°F day and cause serious burns within seconds. If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for their paws!
🕐 Walk early or late – Stick to early morning or late evening walks when temperatures are cooler.
💧 Keep them hydrated – Always have fresh, cool water available and never leave pets in parked vehicles.
🌳 Provide shade – If your pet is outdoors, ensure they have access to shade at all times.
😰 Watch for signs of heatstroke – Heavy panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse. If you see any of these, get your pet to a cool place and contact a vet immediately.
Our dogs trust us to protect them — let’s make sure we do just that.
