As temperatures rise, it's important to keep our furry friends safe from the heat. Dogs can overheat quickly, especially when left outside for long periods.
✔️ Always provide plenty of fresh, cool water
✔️ Make sure they have access to shade or air conditioning
✔️ Walk and exercise during the cooler morning or evening hours
✔️ Avoid hot pavement that can burn paw pads
✔️ Watch for signs of heatstroke, including excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse
If it's too hot for you, it's probably too hot for your dog. A little extra care can help keep them happy, healthy, and safe all summer long!
