Warmer weather means more outdoor fun but it also brings some seasonal risks for pets.
Here are a few ways to help keep your furry family members safe this summer:

1๏ธโƒฃ **Never leave pets in a parked car**
Even with the windows cracked, temperatures can become dangerous within minutes.

2๏ธโƒฃ **Watch the pavement temperature**
Hot asphalt can burn paw pads.
Try the โ€œ5 second hand testโ€ before walks!

3๏ธโƒฃ **Keep fresh water available at all times**
Hydration is essential, especially after outdoor play or walks.

4๏ธโƒฃ **Stay current on flea & tick prevention**
Summer pests can spread serious illnesses to both dogs and cats.

5๏ธโƒฃ **Know the signs of heatstroke**
Excessive panting, drooling, vomiting, weakness, or collapse are emergencies!

โ˜€๏ธ A little prevention goes a long way toward a safe, happy summer for your pets!
