Between our local parks, beaches, and your own backyard, there are hundreds of ways for your pet to enjoy the great outdoors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But while we\u2019re having fun in the sun, it\u2019s essential our furry, feathered, and scaly companions have everything they need to stay cool. Depending on breed and species, our pets can experience heat differently than us. A sunny afternoon in the mid-80\u2019s might feel comfortable to you and me, but be too hot for an elderly furry Husky.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Heat exhaustion is life-threatening and can happen quickly.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Here are the essential tips you need to keep your pets cool this summer.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Find shade (or make your own!)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that shade can feel up to 15 degrees cooler than direct sunlight? This can be a huge help to pets trying to cool down. If there are no trees or natural shade, use an umbrella or tent to make your own!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Always, always, always provide fresh water<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydration helps pets regulate their body temperature &#8211; but make sure their water is fresh. Puddles harbor dangerous parasites and diseases, and pool and ocean water is toxic to pets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Take frequent breaks<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>A few minutes inside to reset can do wonders for keeping our pets comfortable in the sun.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Opt for morning or evening outdoor activities<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoiding the hot noon-day sun is essential in reducing your pet\u2019s risk of overheating.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Remember that some breeds and species are more at risk<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Some dogs are specifically adapted to cooler environments. Siberian Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, and Saint Bernard&#8217;s are just a few. But any dog with a dense fur coat is going to have a harder time cooling off.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Young and senior pets<\/strong> can have difficulty regulating their body temperature in extreme weather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Short-nosed pets (like <strong>Bulldogs, Frenchies, &amp; Persian cats<\/strong>) also overheat easily.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Watch for hidden dangers<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Hard surfaces like pavement can get <strong>hot<\/strong> &#8211; causing burns on paws and the scales of basking reptiles.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cars. Period. <strong>Never, ever leave a pet alone in a vehicle, even with the AC running. <\/strong>A human should be present to ensure the vehicle remains comfortable and provide life-saving evacuation if the AC fails.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when you\u2019re prepared, heat exhaustion can happen quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signs of heat exhaustion (and when your pet should see a veterinarian ASAP)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Excessive or heaving panting (or ANY panting if it\u2019s a cat)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drooling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dark red or purple gums and tongue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weakness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stumbling or collapse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vomiting and\/or diarrhea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seizures<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If any of these symptoms are observed in your pet, they should be examined by a veterinarian right away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Questions about keeping your pet cool this summer?
