☀️Heat Stroke Can be Fatal for Our Pets! 🐶🐱🐾 With temperatures reaching into the 90's 🔥, here are some signs of heatstroke you should know. If you think your pet is suffering from heatstroke, get them into a cool environment, cool them down gradually with a wet towel, offer them water in small amounts, and use a fan to increase air circulation.
Also, with extreme temperatures 🔥, make sure you're keeping in mind how hot surfaces get when walking your pup. At 95°, concrete can heat up to 140°, and asphalt can reach 155°. Paw burns can occur in a matter of minutes when our walking surfaces reach these temperatures. 🔥
