Summer heat sneaks up on pets fast.
Before a walk, place your hand on the pavement for a few seconds. If it's too hot for you, it's too hot for paws. Choose early morning or evening walks, keep fresh water nearby, and give pets shaded or indoor breaks.
Heavy panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or bright red gums can point to overheating. A pet with those signs needs veterinary care right away.
