🚜🌾 Harvest season is here!

A reminder to all drivers: you may encounter slow-moving farm machinery on the roads. Please slow down, stay alert, give equipment plenty of space, and use extra caution when passing.

Our farmers are working hard. Let’s all do our part to make sure everyone gets home safely. 💛

Slow down. Stay alert. Share the road.

☀️ HEAT WAVE ALERT❗
With extreme heat expected, please keep a close eye on your pets — heat stroke can happen fast!

🥵 Higher‑Risk Pets

- Flat‑faced breeds (Bulldogs, Pugs, Shih Tzus, etc.)
- Thick‑coated breeds (Huskies, Shepherds, Great Pyrenees, etc )
- Juvenile or senior pets
- Pets with heart/lung disease

🚨 Signs of Heat Stroke

- Heavy panting
- Bright red or pale gums
- Drooling or vomiting
- Weakness or collapse

🧊 If Your Pet Shows Symptoms

- Move them to a cool, shaded or indoor area
- Offer cool water
- Apply cool (not ice‑cold) water to belly/armpits/groin
- Use a fan to help cooling
- Avoid ice baths

🏥 Go to the Vet Immediately If:

- Panting doesn’t improve
- Gums change colour
- They collapse
- They are slow to respond
- They seem confused
- They vomit

‼️ Important Heat Safety Reminders

- Never leave pets inside hot vehicles — even for a moment. The temperature inside a vehicle can surpass outdoor temperatures and rise to a deadly high in less than 30 minutes!
- Never leave pets tied up outside without shade or a cool place to rest.
- Hydration is of utmost importance! Always have fresh water available, especially if your pet is outdoors.
- Touch surfaces like pavement / asphalt first — if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your pet’s paws and can cause burns.
- If spending extended periods of time outside in the heat, consider providing a shallow pool for pets to cool off in.

Stay safe and keep your pets cool this weekend! 😄🐕
