High temperatures can quickly become dangerous for your pet.
Here is what you need to know to keep them safe:
🐾 The 5-Second Tarmac Test: Pavements get too hot. Place the back of your hand on the ground for 5 seconds. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for them. Sticking to early morning or late evening walks is best.
🐶 Pugs, French Bulldogs, and Persian cats struggle significantly more in the heat. Keep them indoors in a cool, well-ventilated room.
🚗 Never Leave Pets in Cars: Not even for a quick errand, and not with the windows cracked. Temperatures inside a car can skyrocket to dangerous levels for your pet.
💧 Hydration & Shade: Keep fresh, cool water topped up at all times.
🚨 Signs of Heatstroke to Watch For:
Heavy panting or drooling
Lethargy, weakness, or stumbling
Bright red or dark gums
Vomiting
What to do: If you suspect heatstroke, move your pet to a cool area immediately and contact the vet right away.
We hope everyone enjoys the sunshine safely! 😎🐾
