With heat warnings in place just a few things to keep in mind...
- Be sure to test the sidewalks/roadways to make sure they aren't too hot for your fur baby's paws. You do this by using the 7 Second Test...hold the back of your hand on the sidewalk/pavement for 7 seconds. Can you make it to 7 seconds? If you can't do that comfortably than it is too hot for your furry friend.
- Make sure to have fresh water out.
- If your pet is outside make sure they have shaded space.
- It is best to exercise your fur baby in the early morning or later in the evening to avoid the hottest time of day.
- Pool time! Your furry friend can try and beat the heat in a wading pool.
- Temperatures in parked vehicles get HOT FAST...so please please don't leave your fur baby in your vehicle.
Have a safe summer!
