🥵Beat the Heat! 🥵
🐾☀️ Keeping our pets safe during the heat warning.🐾☀️
With Environment Canada issuing a heat warning for our area, we are expecting a long-duration heat event with temperatures climbing as high as 36°C this week. While we all love spending time outdoors, it’s important to remember that our pets can be MUCH more sensitive to extreme heat than we are.
Please take a look at the "How hot is too hot " chart attached below to help you decide if it’s safe for your pet to be active outdoors. Simple ways to keep your pets cool:
✔ Check the ground: If the pavement is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws!
✔Hydration is key: Always ensure fresh, cool water is easily accessible.
✔Stay indoors: During the hottest parts of the day, keep pets in a cool, air-conditioned space.
✔Limit activity: Plan your walks for the early morning or late evening when the sun is less intense.
✔Never leave them alone: Never leave your pets inside a parked vehicle, even for a quick errand.
✔Watch for signs of heat exhaustion, such as excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy.
If you suspect your pet is overheating, move them to a cooler area, offer water, and contact us or your nearest emergency vet immediately. Stay cool, everyone! 🧊🐕🐱
