Summer Safety With Your Pet

Signs of Heat Stroke - Bright Red Tongue, Difficulty Breathing, Mobility Problems, Drooling, Excessive Thirst, Heavy Panting, Vomiting, and Thick Saliva. Heat stroke happens when your dog's body overheats beyond safe limits.
Dog types with a High Risk for Heat Stroke - Short Nose, Long Haired, Young, and Elderly.
Never Leave Your Pet In A Parked Car - On an 85°F day, the temperature inside a car can skyrocket to 102°F in 10 minutes and 120°F in 30 minutes-even with the windows cracked. In that heat, pets can suffer irreversible organ damage or worse.
No Hot Surfaces - If it's too hot for bare feet, it's too hot for bare paws. Asphalt and sand can cause a second degree burn to your pet's paws within 35 seconds.
Shade and Water - Combine constant access to water with plenty of shaded, breezy spots, to help your pet stay happy-and safe.
Antifreeze - Pets are drawn to its sweetness, but even a tiny sip can trigger fatal kidney failure. Wipe up any spills immediately and store all antifreeze containers securely, well out of reach. If you suspect ingestion call your veterinarian at once
Limit Exercise - Don't let playful pets overexert themselves in the heat. Exercise in the early mornings or late evenings when it's cooler.
