Extreme heat poses all sorts of threats to pets. Food, water, and shelter are the main priorities, but grooming and leashing are also important.

Here are some tips to keep your best friend happy and healthy and to prevent heat stroke:

- Avoid leaving an animal in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. 🚗
- Provide fresh, cool drinking water at all times. 💧
- Make sure outdoor kennels are shaded and well-ventilated. ☂️
- Avoid exercising pets on hot days or warm, humid nights. ☀️
- Groom your pet and help prevent skin problems. 🐕
