A little reminder for this crazy hot week ahead.
With the hot temperatures arriving, make your pets’ safety a priority! 🐶🐱☀️
Here are a few simple ways to help keep them cool and safe:
🔥 1. Avoid hot pavement.
Black asphalt heats up fast, when the air temperature is 86°F, pavement can reach 135°F! Whenever possible, keep your pets on grass or in shaded areas. Remember: If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for their paws. 🐾
⏱ 2. Keep outdoor time short.
Limit walks and potty breaks during the hottest parts of the day, and don’t leave pets outside for extended periods.
💧 3. Provide plenty of fresh, cool water.
Make sure your pet always has access to clean, cool water, whether they’re indoors or outside.
🚨 4. Know the signs of heat stroke.
Watch for excessive panting, labored breathing, excessive drooling, weakness, confusion, or decreased responsiveness. If you suspect your pet is suffering from heat stroke, seek emergency veterinary care immediately.
A little extra caution can make a big difference. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and help keep your furry family members safe! ❤️🐾
