This important day is a time for all pet owners to make sure that their pet’s identification information is current. This precautionary measure is a vital part of caring for your pet. If your pet ever gets lost, having a current pet ID may be the 𝙊𝙉𝙇𝙔 possible way for your pet to reunite with you.

🟣 Pet ID Tag
All dogs and outdoor cats need to have a tag attached to their collar at all times. At a minimum, a tag needs your current contact information. It is also advisable to include a backup emergency contact number.

A dog’s tag should also have his or her name because dogs will typically be responsive to their name when somebody calls them. In addition, you should include any important medical information about your pet that would be relevant to someone who finds him or her. Lastly, be sure that you have a pet ID tag containing current license information required by the city or municipality where you live.

🟣Microchip ID
If you have not microchipped your pet, make it a point to do so this July. During the summer months, especially during fireworks festivities, animals are especially likely to get lost.

A microchip enables animal services departments and rescues to identify an animal’s owner. If your pet is already microchipped, verify that your information in the national database is up to date.

Your pet always wants to be by your side. If you ever become separated and your pet cannot find his or her way home, current identification information will help your pet get back to you.

1️⃣ Never Leave Your Pet in the Car
The car can quickly become a death trap for pets. Even with windows open, temperatures can skyrocket to dangerous levels within just 10 minutes.
2️⃣ Hydration and Cooling
Ensure your pet has access to plenty of fresh, cool water and stays in the shade or air-conditioned environments during peak sun hours. Hydration is as crucial for them as it is for us.
3️⃣ Avoid Midday Exercise
Strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day can be harmful. Opt for walks in the early morning or late evening.
4️⃣ Protect Their Paws
Be mindful of hot surfaces like asphalt. If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for your pet’s paws.
5️⃣Frozen Treats
To keep them cool, offer frozen treats. (Freeze a Kong filled with peanut butter, homemade dogsicles.)
6️⃣ Cooling Products
While there are products like KOOL vests, sometimes simple measures like providing cold water, shade, and air conditioning are more effective.
7️⃣Recognizing Heat Stroke
Watch for early signs of heat stroke, such as rapid panting, thick saliva, and bright red gums. As the situation worsens, your pet might experience shock and organ shutdown, indicated by pale gums, weakness, and potentially severe outcomes like seizures or coma.
8️⃣Emergency Response
If you suspect severe heatstroke and your pet collapses, immediate veterinary attention is crucial. Apply cool, wet towels to their neck and groin areas while en route to the vet.
9️⃣Monitor Their Temperature
Check your pet’s temperature using a re**al thermometer. A reading of 104°F or higher indicates heatstroke, necessitating immediate action.
🔟 Effective Cooling Techniques
Run cold water over your pet’s head and apply cold packs or wet towels to their back legs, belly, and armpits to reduce their temperature.
