Provide Ample Water: Keep your pets hydrated by providing plenty of fresh, clean water at all times, especially during hot weather.
Limit Outdoor Activity: Avoid exercising your pets during the hottest parts of the day, typically mid-morning to late afternoon.
Protect from Sunburn: Just like humans, pets can get sunburned, especially those with light-colored fur or exposed skin.
Watch for Overheating Signs: Be aware of signs of overheating in your pets, including excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, and vomiting.
Prevent Fleas and Ticks: Summer months bring an increase in flea and tick activity. Use vet-approved preventive treatments to protect your pets from these pests, and regularly check their fur for any signs of infestation.
Provide Cool Resting Areas: Create cool spots for your pets to relax indoors by setting up fans, using air conditioning, or providing cooling mats.
Never Leave Pets in Cars: Never leave your pets unattended in a parked car, even for a short period, as temperatures inside a vehicle can quickly reach dangerous levels, leading to heatstroke and even death.
