🚰 Providing constant access to fresh drinking water.
⛱️ Offering shade indoors and outdoors.
💨 Using fans to improve airflow.
🌞 Closing curtains during the hottest part of the day.
🐾 Avoiding strenuous exercise.
🌡Checking pavement temperatures before walking.
❄️ Offering frozen enrichment activities.
