โ๏ธ๐พ Summer Safety Tips for Happy, Healthy Pets!
As the temperatures rise, it's important to help keep your pets safe and comfortable during the warmer months.
Here are our top summer safety tips:
๐ง Keep fresh water available at all times and encourage your pet to drink regularly.
๐ณ Walk during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or late evening, to avoid overheating.
๐พ Check the pavement before walks. If it's too hot for your hand to comfortably touch for five seconds, it's too hot for your pet's paws.
๐ Never leave your pet in a parked car. Even with the windows open, temperatures can rise dangerously within minutes.
๐ถ๏ธ Provide shade and a cool place to rest if your pet is spending time outdoors.
๐ผ Watch for signs of heatstroke, including excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse. If you suspect heatstroke, move your pet to a cool area, offer small amounts of water, and contact your veterinary practice immediately.
