As temperatures break record highs all over the world, it’s more important than ever to protect our pets from the heat.
The best way to do that is to keep them cool indoors and provide plenty of fresh water. Pets shouldn’t stay out longer than five or 10 minutes in the midday heat — just long enough to do their business. Morning or evening walks are best. And never leave them in a car.
Heat exhaustion is most common in flat-faced animals, very young or elderly pets and those with underlying health problems. Signs can include excessive panting and drooling, restlessness and overgrooming. If you’re worried, never put your buddy in ice-cold water, which can make things worse. Instead, apply cool towels and get to a veterinary clinic.
