Let's not forget about the danger of heat stroke, what signs to look for and how to prevent it.
Tips for Preventing Heat Stroke:
- Make sure your pet has access to water at all times.
- DO NOT leave your pet in a parked car even if it's only for a short time.
- Keep your pet inside or in the shade if it has a predisposed condition such as breathing problems or heart disease.
- Swimming or wetting your dog down with a hose is a great way to maintain a normal body temperature.
- Restrict exercise on hot days.
