☀️🐾 LABOR DAY WEEKEND PET SAFETY🐾☀️
Labor Day weekend is here, and it looks like we’re in for a HOT one! 🥵☀️ Whether you’re spending the weekend outside, traveling, camping, or just enjoying some time at home, don’t forget about your four-legged family members!
🐶🐱 Keep your pets safe in the heat:
💧 Make sure they have access to plenty of fresh, cool water at all times.
🏠 Bring pets inside or into a cool, shaded area when temperatures rise.
🚫 Avoid exercising or taking long walks during the hottest parts of the day.
🐾 Remember that hot pavement can burn paw pads — if the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!
🚗 NEVER leave your pet in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. Temperatures inside a vehicle can become dangerously hot very quickly.
🌡️ Keep a close eye on pets who are more vulnerable to heat, including flat-faced breeds, puppies/kittens, senior pets, overweight pets, and those with underlying health conditions.
⚠️ Know the signs of heat exhaustion/heatstroke: excessive or heavy panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, stumbling, collapse, or seizures can all be signs of a serious heat-related emergency.
If you suspect your pet is experiencing heatstroke, move them to a cool area and seek veterinary care immediately. Heatstroke can become life-threatening very quickly.
❤️🐾 A little extra attention can help keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable all weekend long!
