Today is Heat Awareness Day, and with summer just around the corner, it's a great time to brush up on how to keep your pets safe in the heat! 🌡️🐾
🐾 Never leave your pet in a parked car, even for a few minutes.
🐾 Check pavement temperatures before walks to protect sensitive paw pads.
🐾 Make sure fresh water and shade are always available outdoors.
Most importantly, know the warning signs of heatstroke:
🚨 Excessive panting

🚨 Lethargy or weakness
🚨 Vomiting
🚨 Disorientation or confusion
If your pet is showing signs of heatstroke, move them to a cool area and contact your nearest Allied Veterinary Emergency Hospital immediately. Heatstroke can quickly become life-threatening, and prompt veterinary care is critical.
When it comes to heat-related emergencies, every minute matters.
