Hot Weather Pet Care

6/21/2022

0 Comments

 
With temperatures rising this weekend, it's important to keep your pets safe from the heat! Here are some tips to stay cool in the summer sun:
  • Never leave your pet in a hot car. Even with the windows down, car temperatures can reach up to 120°.
  • Make sure your pets have adequate shade and water if they do spend time outside and take breaks every 30 minutes to cool down.
  • Schedule your walks for earlier in the morning and later in the evening to avoid the midday heat.
  • If you can't hold your hand to the pavement for 5 seconds, it's too hot for your pet's paws.
  • Watch for signs of heat stroke, including panting, vomiting, weakness, dark red gums, lethargy, in-coordination, and seizures.
