☀️ Scorching Temps = Serious Risk for Pets! 🐶🐱

Heatwaves aren’t just uncomfortable — they can be dangerous for our pets.

🔥 Keep them indoors during peak heat hours
💦 Always have fresh, cool water available
🌳 Limit exercise – especially for flat-faced breeds
🐾 Hot pavement burns paws – do the 5-second test!

🚫 NEVER leave your pet in a car — even with the windows cracked, it can become deadly in minutes.

If your pet shows signs of heat exhaustion (excessive panting, drooling, weakness), act fast and contact your vet immediately.

Stay cool, stay safe, and take care of those paws! 🧊🐾

🔥 Heatwave Alert: Keep Your Pets Safe! 🐾

With temperatures soaring, it’s crucial to protect our furry friends from heat-related dangers. Here are some life-saving tips:

☀️ Never leave pets in parked cars – even for a few minutes. Temps inside can skyrocket in seconds.
💧 Provide plenty of fresh water and shade if your pet is outside.
🏃‍♂️ Avoid midday walks – stick to early morning or late evening.
🐾 Check the pavement – if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.
🚨 Know the signs of heatstroke: heavy panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting. Seek vet care immediately if you suspect it!

Let’s keep them cool, hydrated, and safe. 💙
