We hope everybody is staying nice and cool today! ☀️

HEATSTROKE IS PREVENTABLE‼️
Dogs and cats are not able to regulate their body temperature the same way humans do, making them more susceptible to heatstroke.

With today being almost 100°F, we recommend SKIPPING WALKS and only bringing your pets out for brief bathroom breaks.

Keep pets inside with fans/AC and access to fresh water. Also keep in mind the temperature of the pavement in your pets’ paws.

If you notice any signs of heatstroke or you are ever concerned, please call/bring your pet to TVETS!

Please leave your four legged friends at home during this weather!

It is NEVER a good idea to leave your pet in the car in the summer, even with a window cracked, even for 10 minutes. Take a look at this graph that shows you just how hot the interior of a car can get.
