Make sure your pet has access to fresh, clean water at all times. On hot days, refill their water bowl more often to keep the water cool.
Provide shade
If your pet is outside, make sure they have access to a shady area where they can escape from the sun. A tree, umbrella, or canopy can provide much-needed shade.
Don't exercise your pet during the hottest parts of the day
Avoid walking or playing with your pet outside during the hottest parts of the day. Instead, take them out early in the morning or in the evening when it's cooler.
Never leave your pet in a parked car
Even with the windows cracked, the inside of a parked car can quickly become dangerously hot. Never leave your pet in a parked car, even for a short time.
Recognize the signs of heatstroke
Keep an eye on your pet for signs of heatstroke, such as heavy panting, lethargy, vomiting, and collapse. If you suspect your pet has heatstroke, take them to the vet immediately.
