Hot Weather Alert ☀️🐾
Summer heat is here! Keep pet walks to the cooler parts of the day—early morning or late evening. Remember, ground surfaces like asphalt and concrete can get much hotter than the air. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws!

Stay safe and cool out there!

Here’s a clear, helpful guide on pets and heatstroke summer safety to keep your furry friends safe in the heat:

🐾 Summer Heat Safety Tips for Pets

🔥 What is Heatstroke?

Heatstroke happens when a pet’s body temperature rises dangerously high and they can’t cool down. It can be life-threatening within minutes.

⸻

🚨 Signs of Heatstroke in Pets

Watch for these symptoms:
• Heavy panting or rapid breathing
• Drooling or foaming at the mouth
• Bright red gums or tongue
• Weakness or collapse
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Confusion or glassy eyes

🐶 Dogs with flat faces (like pugs, bulldogs) and older, overweight, or sick pets are especially at risk.

⸻

✅ Prevention Tips

🕶️ Keep Cool
• Limit walks to early morning or late evening.
• Always walk on grass or shaded paths; hot pavement can burn paws.
• Provide shade and fresh water at all times.

🚗 Never Leave Pets in Cars
• Even with windows cracked, a car can hit 120°F in minutes.
• It’s illegal under certain conditions, and possibly deadly.

🐕‍🦺 Exercise Smart
• Avoid intense play or long walks in the heat.
• Take breaks often and bring water.

💦 Help Them Chill
• Provide a kiddie pool or cooling mat.
• Freeze treats or use ice cubes in water bowls.
• Use a damp towel or misting spray for quick cooling.

⸻

💊 What to Do if You Suspect Heatstroke
1. Move your pet to a cool place immediately.
2. Wet them with cool (not cold) water.
3. Offer small amounts of water to drink.
4. Call Doc, or get to a vet hospital right away—heatstroke is a medical emergency.

🐾 Bonus Tip: Know Your Pet

Each pet handles heat differently. Watch their behavior and adjust their routine as needed.
