Heat Stress

With the heat wave approaching, we want to remind you to be vigilant when helping your furry family members beat the heat. Your pet can experience heat stress or heat stroke when their bodies warm up faster than they can cool down.
  • Make sure your pets have access to fresh, cool water to prevent dehydration.
  • Walk your dogs during cooler times of the day (dawn and dusk) while the ground is not too hot. If it's too hot for you, it is likely too hot for your pet. The ground can be hot enough to burn your pets' paw pads! 
  • Provide plenty of shaded areas in your yard, and allow them to come indoors on especially hot days.
  • Never leave your pet unattended in your car.
  • Short-nosed breed dogs are more susceptible to overheating because they have difficulty regulating their temperature.
  • Signs of heat stress include excessive drooling, anxiousness, abnormal gum/tongue color, and even collapse. See a veterinarian immediately if you suspect heat stress.
