Precautions for Animal Owners During the Heat Wave we are experiencing in our area 🥵

Keep your animals safe and comfortable during the extreme heat:

1.⁠ ⁠Provide Plenty of Water: Ensure your pets always have access to fresh, clean water to stay hydrated.

2.⁠ ⁠Limit Outdoor Time: Walk your dogs early in the morning or late in the evening when it’s cooler. Avoid exercise during peak heat hours.

3.⁠ ⁠Never Leave in a Hot Car: Temperatures can soar to deadly levels within minutes, even with the windows slightly open🐕.

4.⁠ ⁠Create a Cool Space: Keep pets indoors in a cool, ventilated area. Use fans or air conditioning, and provide a damp towel for them to lie on if needed.

5.⁠ ⁠Watch for Signs of : Look out for heavy panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, or collapse. Seek immediate veterinary care if you notice these symptoms.

6.⁠ ⁠Protect Sensitive : Hot pavements can burn your pet’s paws. Test the ground with your hand before walking or stick to grassy areas 🐾.

7.⁠ ⁠Groom Responsibly: Brush pets regularly to remove excess fur but avoid shaving them unless advised by a vet, as fur can provide some protection from heat.

8.⁠ ⁠Provide Shade for Outdoor Pets: If your pet must be outside, ensure they have access to shade and plenty of water.

9.⁠ ⁠Avoid Hot Surfaces: Keep pets off tarred, paved and metal surfaces, which can become extremely hot and cause burns.

10.⁠ ⁠Be Mindful of Small and Elderly Pets: Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and flat-faced breeds like Bulldogs and Persians are more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.

🌟 Empathy: The Key to a Kinder World 🌟

Did you know teaching children to treat animals with compassion has lasting benefits for society? 🐾💖 Empathy shapes values, strengthens families, and fosters pro-social behavior. Studies show that children who grow up caring for pets are more nurturing, responsible, and emotionally resilient.

Let's nurture the next generation to value life over material possessions and embrace kindness in every interaction—whether human or animal. 🌍💞

*This lovely child was so worried about us hurting his puppy and the pain of the injection he couldn't bear to watch.

🎅 This Christmas, we at the SPCA are reminded of the humble beginnings of the newborn King, Jesus Christ. As the story goes, He was laid in a manger, surrounded by the gentle creatures of the stable. It's said that the animals shared their manger with Him, considering Him worthy enough to be among them.

As we reflect on this heartwarming scene, we're also inspired by the words of Saint Francis, who saw represented by a lamb - a symbol of innocence, compassion, and kindness. May we, like the animals in the stable, open our hearts and homes to those in need, and may we treat all creatures with the same love and respect that they showed to our newborn King.

🎄 As we celebrate the festive season, let's not forget the animals who bring joy and companionship to our lives. Let's honor their worth and dignity, and strive to create a world where all creatures can thrive.

From our furry friends at the , warmest wishes to you and your loved ones this . May your hearts be filled with love, kindness, and compassion for all beings.

🎁🐾 Thinking of gifting a pet this Christmas? Animals are not objects—they're lifelong commitments. Make responsible choices and consider the pet’s needs and future. Choose love, not impulse.

Pets are lifelong commitments, not holiday gifts. This festive season, make thoughtful choices and avoid treating animals as commodities.
