☀️ Keep Pets Safe in the Heat! ☀️
We are experiencing major heat waves, and our furry friends feel the heat just as much as we do. Please take extra care to keep cats and dogs cool and comfortable.
🐾 Top 5 Tips to Keep Pets Cool:
- Provide plenty of fresh, cool water – Refill bowls often and place multiple water sources around the home.
- Avoid walking pets during peak heat – Exercise early in the morning or late evening when temperatures are lower.
- Create shaded rest areas – Ensure pets have access to cool, shaded spots indoors or outdoors.
- Never leave pets in parked cars – Even a few minutes can cause dangerous overheating.
- Use cooling aids – Wet towels, cooling mats, or gentle misting can help lower body temperature.
⚠️ Warning Signs of Heat Stroke:
- Excessive panting or drooling
- Rapid heartbeat
- Weakness or collapse
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Bright red or pale gums
If any of these symptoms appear, move the pet to a cool area immediately and contact us at 021 - 686 6851.
Stay cool, stay safe, and keep tails wagging this summer!
