☀️ Summer is here — and a major heat wave is right behind it. ⚠️

Now is the time to review how to protect your dog from heat-related dangers. From overheating and sunburn to dehydration and heatstroke, extreme temperatures can be life-threatening for pets.

This quick guide shares simple steps to help keep your dog safe in the summer heat. While it's especially important for flat-faced breeds (like pugs and bulldogs), dogs with dark coats, and those with underlying health conditions, high temperatures pose a risk to all dogs. The safest place for your dog during extreme heat is inside your home, ideally with air conditioning.

Let’s help every pup stay healthy and comfortable this summer. Please share to spread the word! 🐶❤️
