With the extreme temperatures easing up, you may be tempted to let your pets spend more time outside. But even when it feels like fall to us, our pets can still overheat. ☀️🍂

Continue to use caution and limit their time outdoors. Make sure they always have access to fresh water, shade, and a cool place to rest, and avoid strenuous exercise during the warmest parts of the day.
