Weather Advisory: Temperatures are rising and we want to be mindful of the impacts heat can have on our pets.
Pavement is much hotter than the air around us. Skin damage can happen in under one minute. If it is too hot for you to put your hand on the pavement for five seconds, it is too hot for a dog’s paws. Avoid mid-day walks and consider doing an early morning or late night walk instead.
Heat stroke is when the pet’s body temperature reaches over 103°F. This often occurs after being left in a yard without access to shade or water and during exercise in hot temperatures. Dogs suffering from heatstroke can have excessive panting, increased heart rates, abnormal gum color, tacky or sticky gums, vomiting and diarrhea. They may also appear lethargic, unstable, or disoriented. This is an immediate medical emergency.
