Get DirectionsSomeone needs to look out for your pets and if you are their owner, the responsibility falls on you. There are many things that you can do in Green Valley to ensure that your pets are being carefully looked out for, especially during the summer months.
Making sure that your pets have plenty of water is important. This includes whether they are indoors or outdoors. If you take them for a long walk or a trip to the park, be sure that you have a bottle of water to be able to give them. There are plenty of products on the market that ensure that your pets can be hydrated no matter where you go, including collapsible bowls.
Another thing that you can do is cover their feet when they are walking outside. While the grass can be cool, the pavement can be scorching hot. Protect the feet using paw pads or booties. Your veterinarian may even make recommendations based upon the kind of breed that you have.
Know some of the signs for heat exhaustion and overheating for your pet. Some of the most common ones are:
- Panting
- Rise in body temperature
- Dry gums
If your dog or cat has been overheated, wet a towel and lay it across their body. You will also want to cool down the pads on their paws as that is where their sweat glands are located.
During the summer, there are also more bugs and therefore you want to make sure that your pet is on some kind of prevention medication for heartworm, as well as fleas and ticks.
