Summer is a wonderful time for outdoor activities with your pets, but high temperatures can pose serious risks. Here are our top tips to ensure a safe and fun summer season.
1. Hydration is Key
Always carry water for your pet during walks. Dehydration can happen quickly in hot weather.
2. Watch the Pavement
If the asphalt is too hot for your hand after 5 seconds, it's too hot for your dog's paws. Stick to grass or walk early in the morning.
3. Know the Signs of Heatstroke
Excessive panting, drooling, and lethargy are warning signs. If you suspect heatstroke, cool your pet gradually and contact us immediately.
