Arizona heat can become dangerous for pets in a matter of minutes.
Early signs of heatstroke include excessive panting, drooling, weakness, and vomiting. Without prompt treatment, this condition can quickly lead to organ failure.

If you suspect heatstroke, move your pet to a cool area, offer small amounts of water, and head to an emergency hospital right away. Cooling at home is not enough on its own.

Prevention is key—avoid walks during peak heat and never leave pets in parked cars, even briefly.

We are available 24/7 to provide rapid cooling and critical care when heat emergencies happen.
