🐾 POEM OF A LITTLE DOG
I am the one who always waits for you.
Your car has a special sound, engraved in my senses—I can recognize it among a thousand.
Your footsteps carry a magical tone.
Your voice is music to my ears.
Seeing your joy makes me happy!
Your scent is the finest.
Your presence awakens my every sense.
Your waking stirs me from sleep.
I watch you as you sleep, and to me, you are my God; I am happy guarding your dreams.
Your gaze is a ray of light.
Your hands on me hold the gentleness of peace and the purest expression of infinite love.
When you leave, an immense emptiness fills my heart.
Yet I wait for you, again and again.
I am the one who will wait for you my whole life—today, tomorrow, and always:
I am your dog! 🐶🐾

Dogs and cats don’t sweat like humans and can suffer heatstroke far more easily.

🐕 SAFETY FOR YOUR CANINE FRIENDS:

• Exercise your dog early or late in the day. All dogs, especially flat faced breeds, can overheat quickly.
• Check the temperature of the ground or sand, because if it’s too hot to touch, then it’s TOO HOT for their paws.
• Provide fresh water daily. Clam shell pools, doggy ice treats, kongs and home alone toys are great fun, keeps them cool and provides mental enrichment.
• Leave dogs in a shady area, bearing in mind the movement of the sun as the day passes.

SIGNS OF HEATSTROKE:

• Muddy pink gums (instead of bright pink)
• Heavy panting with occasional frothing mouth
• Disorientation
• Increased heart rate

WHAT TO DO:

• Remove the pet from the heat source if possible.
• Increase ventilation (fan) and apply cool water or a cool towel compress.
• Do not apply ice, this causes blood vessels to constrict and takes the dog longer to cool down.
• Reapply the cool towels frequently.
• Offer water to your pet, but don’t force it.
• Get your pet to the vet quickly.

WARNING:

⚠️ NEVER walk your dog when the temperate is over 30ºC – their paws burn on hot pavements and hot sand.

⚠️ NEVER leave your dog in a parked car on a warm day. Even on a cool day, the temperature in the car is much hotter than outside and can lead to brain damage or death.

🐈‍⬛ SAFETY FOR YOUR FELINE FRIENDS:

• Offer your cat multiple ways to cool off: see what your cat likes, try making fans available or add ice cubes to your cat’s water bowl.
• Provide access to cool spots around the house: let kitty reach tiled floors, bathtubs (empty) and move around to shaded rooms.
• Play in the morning and evening when it’s cooler: you wouldn’t jog at midday,
so play with your cat when the house is cool.
• Brush kitty frequently: brush your cat to remove extra fur that holds in body heat. Some long haired cats even enjoy a professional trim for the summer.
• Make sure there is always water available: check water bowls often – water evaporates quickly in the heat.

Watch carefully for signs of heat stroke: These symptoms can signal a serious condition. Please get your overheated cats to the vet as soon as possible:

• Panting
• Drooling
• Lethargy
• Fever
• Vomiting
• Collapse
