The hot summer months bring some extra risks for pets. A few simple precautions can help your companion get through summer comfortably and safely.
Watch Out for Heatstroke
Especially during the hottest hours, avoid leaving your pet outdoors or in direct sun for extended periods. Excessive panting, lethargy, or loss of balance can be signs of heatstroke and require emergency attention.
Never Leave Your Pet Alone in a Car
The temperature inside a closed car can reach extremely dangerous levels very quickly. When it’s hot, never leave your companion alone in a car, even with the windows slightly open.
Provide Water and a Way to Cool Down
Always keep clean, fresh water within reach. Scheduling walks for the cooler parts of the day (early morning or evening) helps both you and your companion get through summer more comfortably.
