Summer Pet Tips
Scorching heat, soaring humidity and longer days mark the arrival of summer. But often our pets are overlooked when it comes to summer and the results can be deadly.
Don't let this happen to your pet -- follow these few simple tips and help make summer safe for everyone in the family:
- NEVER leave your pet in the car. Even though there can be a breeze outside, the temperature in the car can rapidly rise while you are away, making it dangerous for your pet to stay there.
- Check your pet’s water dish several times a day during the summer months. Just like you, your pet will need plenty of hydration to stay healthy in the heat.
- If you are transporting an animal, always bring enough water, so that he/she does not attempt to drink from contaminated puddles outside.
