How to keep dogs, cats and other pets safe in hot weather.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Summer can be the most fun time of the year for us and our pets \ud83d\udc08\ud83d\udc29. The days are longer and the atmosphere is more relaxed. Lots of plans can be made and a fantastic time can be had outdoors. But the heat can be dangerous, too\u2026.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, with just a few precautions, you can protect your pets from the heat in the summer. Here are a few essential tips to keep your furry friends safe and happy during the hottest months of the year.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.24.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39Make sure pets always have access to fresh, clean water<\/strong>. Consider carrying a water bottle and portable bowl if you\u2019re out walking or playing.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Keep pets inside during the day if possible. If pets spend time outdoors, make sure they have access to shade at all times<\/strong>. Provide a cool, shady spot where your pet can rest.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39Choose to go outside with them during the cooler morning or evening hours,<\/strong> and avoid the hours with the hottest weather. Short walks and brief trips for them to relieve themselves are fine, but protect them from the heat. Bring water.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Be aware of the temperature<\/strong> of the sidewalk, asphalt or sand, as the heat can cause burns to your pet\u2019s paw pads if they get too hot. Try early morning or evening walks when the ground is cooler.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Don\u2019t leave your pet in a parked car<\/strong> when the outside temperature is high; not even with the windows half open, as the temperature inside a car can rise quickly and be fatal to your pet. If you can\u2019t take them with you, it\u2019s best to leave them at home.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Take care of their coat<\/strong>. Brush your pet regularly. Frequent brushing helps remove dead hair and makes it easier for your pet to stay fresh. Consult a veterinarian before performing a drastic haircut.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39Beware of pools and water<\/strong>. Not all pets are good swimmers. Always keep an eye on them when they are near water. If your pet swims in a chlorinated pool or in the ocean, rinse them with fresh water to remove chemicals or salt.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39Parasite protection<\/strong>. Summer is peak season for fleas, ticks and mosquitoes. Consult with your veterinarian about appropriate preventative treatments.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 Proper Diet and Exercise<\/strong>. Meals, keep them somewhat lighter. Make sure their diet is balanced. Control, in addition, exercise. Reduce the intensity of exercise on hotter days and opt for low-impact activities.<\/p>\n
