🩺 Monday Medical Minute: Summer Heat Safety for Pets ☀️🐾

When temperatures rise, our furry friends are at an increased risk for heat-related illness. Dogs and cats cannot cool themselves efficiently like people and can quickly become overheated.

Keep your pets safe during the heat by:

✅ Providing plenty of fresh water
✅ Limiting outdoor activity during the hottest parts of the day
✅ Walking dogs early in the morning or later in the evening
✅ Checking pavement temperatures before walks
✅ Ensuring access to shade and cool areas
✅ Never leaving pets in a parked vehicle—even for a few minutes

🚨 Some signs of heatstroke are:
• Excessive panting
• Drooling
• Lethargy or weakness
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Collapse or unresponsiveness

Heatstroke is a medical emergency. If you suspect your pet is overheating, move them to a cool area, offer water, and contact your veterinarian or emergency hospital immediately.

A little prevention can go a long way toward keeping your furry family members safe and comfortable all summer long. ❤️🐶🐱
