🐾☀️ Keep your smooshy pets cool this summer!

If you have a dog or cat with a flat face — like Bulldogs, Pugs, Persian cats, or Exotic Shorthairs — summer heat can be extra tough on them. Their shorter airways make it harder to breathe and stay cool, so keep an eye out for signs of overheating like heavy panting or lethargy.

Make sure they have plenty of fresh water, shady spots to chill, and avoid vigorous exercise during the hottest parts of the day.

A cool fan or damp towel can help keep them comfortable too!

💙 Your flat-faced friend will thank you with lots of happy snuggles.
