☀️🐾 How to Help Your Pet Beat the Summer Heat! 🐶😺

Hot temps can be dangerous for our furry friends, but with a few simple tips, you can keep them safe and cool all summer long! 🌴💦

🌞 Keep walks short & sweet – Avoid mid-day heat. Early morning or evening strolls are best.
🚗 Never leave pets in the car – Even with windows cracked, temps can soar in minutes.
💧 Hydration is key – Always provide fresh, cool water and consider pet-safe frozen treats!
🌳 Create shady spots – Whether outside or on the patio, make sure they have a cool place to rest.
🏠 Keep it cool indoors – Fans, AC, or cooling mats can make a big difference.
🔥 Paw check! – Pavement can burn paws. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their feet!

Let’s make this a safe and happy summer for ALL our four-legged friends! 🐕🐾🧊
