Summer Heat Safety
This hot weather shows no sign of slowing down, so it’s important to remember to keep your pets safe while the temperature climbs!
Make sure your pets are up-to-date on their heartworm and flea & tick protection, make sure they have access to plenty of clean, fresh water, and be careful of leaving your pet in hot temperatures. Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle where temperatures climb quickly, and also be careful of going on walks as well if the asphalt or cement is too hot. If it’s too hot for your hand to lay on it comfortably for a while, it’s too hot for your pet’s sensitive paws. There are also lots of ways to help keep your pets cool too, like providing them with frozen treats, cooling mats, fun water toys like kiddy pools and sprinklers, or even going for swims! Make sure to always watch your pet while they swim, and life jackets are great, especially out on the lake!
Stay cool and safe out there with your furry friends!
