Hot Weather Pet Safety Tips

With rising temperatures just around the corner, it’s important to keep your pets safe and comfortable.

Make sure they have access to cool, shaded areas and plenty of fresh water, and avoid walking them on hot pavement, which can burn their paws.

Never leave pets in a parked car, and limit exercise to the cooler parts of the day.

Remember — if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them!
