Triple-digit temperatures are back, and summer is knocking at our door! 🌵🐾
We want to remind everyone to keep their furry family members safe during the hottest months of the year.
🐶 Did you know? • Asphalt can reach temperatures of 140°F+ when it’s only 95°F outside. • Pets can suffer heatstroke in just minutes. • Leaving a pet in a parked car—even with the windows cracked—is NEVER safe.
☀️ Fun Fact: Dogs and cats don’t sweat like humans do. They rely on panting to cool down, which means they can overheat much faster than we realize.
💡 Summer Safety Tips: ✅ Always provide fresh, cool water ✅ Walk pets early in the morning or after sunset ✅ Test pavement with the back of your hand for 7 seconds before walks ✅ Provide shade when outdoors ✅ Watch for signs of overheating: excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, bright red gums or collapse.
If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them! ❤️🐾 Let’s work together to keep our pets happy, healthy, and safe all summer long.
