Helpful Tips
Hydration is Key
Make sure your dog has access to fresh water at all times, especially on hot days.
Exercise Wisely
Avoid exercise during peak heat hours (10 a.m. - 4 p.m.); walk in the early morning or evening.
Provide Shade
When outdoors, ensure your dog has access to shade, whether from a tree, canopy, or doghouse.
No Cars
Never leave your dog in a parked car, as temperatures can reach dangerous levels quickly.
Protect Their Paws
Walk your dog on grass or in shaded areas to avoid burning their paws on hot pavement.
Regular Grooming
Brushing helps keep your dog cool by reducing excess fur and matting.
Know Heatstroke Symptoms
Look out for signs like excessive panting, drooling, and lethargy.
Cooling Accessories
Use cooling mats or vests for extra comfort on hot days.
