Hot Weather Rules for Pets

Your pets are important family members, so it's essential to check on them frequently during the hottest parts of the day, 11 a.m. until 2 p.m., to ensure they are safe. Never leave them alone in hot vehicles – only minutes in a hot car can be deadly for your pet. Ensure your pet has plenty of water and shade places to go when outdoors. Test sidewalks with your hand: if it's too hot for your hand, it's probably too hot for your pet.
