During extreme temperatures, its always best to keep your pet inside, in an air conditioned room if possible.
If your pet must be outdoors, make sure they have a place to go to get away from the heat. And have cold water accessible at all times.
Pets are family, take precautions during extreme heat.
Never leave your dog in the car on a hot day!!!
It may seem cooler in the morning, but summer days get hot quick, heating up a car in seconds.
When leaving a car, your dog should always get out with you.
Never go hiking with your dog on a hot day.
Check the pavement temperature.
If the pavement or asphalt is too hot for you, its too hot for your dog’s paws!
Simply test it by touching your hand to the ground.
Look for Summer savings on pet products to assist with cooling methods to prevent over heating.
Routine brushing and clips.
Routine brushing will help thin out any loose hair while preventing matts.
Some dogs shed alot during the summer, but a good brushing or trim will definitely help.
Summer cuts are great! But not all pets need a summer cut. Always research the breed before the clip.
Some multi-layered coats often serve as an insulation to help them stay cool.
Clipping the hair could cause it to grow back with a different texture or tangled preventing the hair from its ability to cool.
