I suppose because it’s 102 degrees here today in Phoenix, that I’d like to bring up a point, HEAT CAN BE DEADLY!!!!!! Important tips to remember: Don’t leave your pets outdoors unsupervised if you can help it. If you do leave them outside, make sure they have plenty of shade, water and a cool place to rest. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR ANIMALS IN A CAR IN THE SUMMER!! The temperature in a car can soar to over 120 degrees in a matter of minutes. DO NOT WALK YOUR DOGS ON BLACKTOP IN PARKING LOTS to take your dog into a pet store. THINK ABOUT IT, take your shoes off and see what it feels like…your dog HAS NO SHOES!!! And lastly, make sure your pet knows how to get out of your pool, if you have one. Your pet may want to cool off, can they get out once they get into a pool? DO NOT OVER EXERCISE your pet in the heat. Your pets wear a fur coat, running and playing in the heat can make them overheat in no time. C’mon, just use common sense, folks and keep your pets safe!
