The summer heat takes its toll on all of us – pets included! It’s common for dog owners to bring their companions along to run errands, but remember to be cautious, as the summer sun can be deadly. Consider these tips:
- Never leave your pet in a hot car – car temperatures rise much faster than outside temperatures
- Prevent burning paws by keeping them off hot asphalt – try to avoid walking during the hottest part of the day
- Make sure your dog always has access to fresh drinking water and shade
- Keep your dog cool this summer with their own “kiddie pool”
