Ensure pet safety during hot weather.  Limit outdoor activity during peak heat and never leave pets unattended in vehicles.

Here are some other tips:

• Limit outdoor excercise to cooler hours such as early morning or late evening
• Walk your dog on grass whenever possible.
• Protect your pets paws by using items like Pawz dog boots or Max Wax
• Ensure pets have access to shade when outdoors

Be aware of signs of heatstroke; excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting and diarrhea.

If you suspect heatstroke, move your pet to a cool place, wet them down with cool (not cold) water and seek immediate veterinary attention.
