Hot weather can be dangerous for pets, leading to dehydration and heatstroke. Here’s how to keep them safe and cool.
1. Provide Plenty of Water
✔ Always have fresh, clean water available.
✔ Add ice cubes to their water bowl on hot days.
2. Avoid Walks During Peak Heat
✔ Walk pets early in the morning or late in the evening.
✔ Test the pavement with your hand—if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for their paws.
3. Create Cool Spots at Home
✔ Use cooling mats or damp towels for them to lie on.
✔ Keep a fan or air conditioning on in the house.
4. Never Leave Pets in a Car
🚫 Even with the windows cracked, a car can overheat quickly.

Heat can be deadly for pets, but simple precautions will keep them safe and comfortable all summer long.
