While summer doesn't official start for a couple of weeks, the hot temps have arrived. We want to remind everyone that hot weather can be fatal for pets. It only takes a few minutes in the heat and sun to cause heat stroke or distress. To keep your pets safe, limit outdoor time, and keep pets inside rather than outdoors or in a hot garage. Make sure they have plenty of water.
Some breeds are more susceptible to heat stroke such as (but not limited to) English and French Bulldogs, Pugs, Boxers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Shih Tzus, Boston Terriers and other “flat-faced” dogs.
Please monitor all your pets for signs of distress and seek vet care immediately if you notice signs. Avoid walking on pavement during peak sun/heat hours to avoid paw burns. And never, EVER leave your pet in a car. More information below. Share this to help spread the word on keeping your pets safe in the heat!
