Hot Weather Pet Safety: Practical Summer Tips
Practical steps for making walks, rest and hydration safer during warm weather.
Warm weather can change how you plan walks, travel and rest periods. Provide constant access to fresh water and shade, and avoid leaving pets in enclosed vehicles or hot spaces.
Adjust activity
Plan walks or active play for cooler parts of the day and reduce intensity when temperatures are high. Hot pavement can also become uncomfortable for paws.
Provide cool resting options
Make sure your pet can move away from direct sun and choose a cooler resting surface.
Heat-related illness can become an emergency. If your pet appears distressed, unusually weak, disoriented or unable to cool down, contact a veterinarian urgently.
Better choices start with better advice.
