Here are some important tips to remember when dealing with the summer heat and taking care of your pets:
  • Never leave your pet in the car.
  • Make sure if your pet is outdoors, that they have plenty of shade and fresh water.
  • Make sure you change the water several times throughout the day.
  • Have more than one source of water for your pet.
  • If you’re exercising your pet, do it at the coolest time of the day.
If your pet starts to show unusual signs including heavy panting or heavy drooling they could be experiencing some distress. Your best bet is to bring them inside immediately and give them plenty of water. If it continues, contact your vet as soon as possible!
