Beat the Heat: Summer Safety Tips for Your Pet<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>
\nJuly means summer is heating up. If you live in Arizona, the scorching heat can often be unbearable. It\u2019s important to keep your pets cool and safe, including hydration strategies, recognizing signs of heat exhaustion, and protecting paws from hot pavement.<\/p>\n

Water is important for humans and for our pets, especially during the heat. According to the article, \u201cHot Weather Safety Tips\u201d at ASPCA, \u201cGive pets plenty of fresh, clean water when it\u2019s hot or humid outdoors as pets can get dehydrated quickly.\u201d Along with water, it\u2019s imperative, especially in Arizona, that your pets can get out of the sun and into the shade, preferably indoors with the A\/C in extreme heat conditions.<\/p>\n

Along with keeping your dog well hydrated and cool, help protect your dog from the hot pavement. \u201cDon\u2019t let dogs linger on hot asphalt when the temperature is very high,\u201d the article said. Doing so can burn your dog\u2019s paw pads. Try to walk your dog very early in the morning and after the sun goes down.<\/p>\n

When it\u2019s hot, keep your dog\u2019s exercise at a minimum. You want to ensure that your dog does not experience heat exhaustion, and you should also recognize the signs and know what to do if it happens. \u201cHeatstroke is the result of a dog’s inability to cool their body down,\u201d according to the article, \u201cHeatstroke in Dogs: Signs, Treatment, and Prevention\u201d at petMD.com. \u201cThe first sign a dog may be developing heatstroke is typically heat cramps, characterized by muscle spasms. This is often related to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to petMD.com, signs of heatstroke in dogs include:<\/p>\n

\u2022\tExcessive panting
\n\u2022\tFast heart rate
\n\u2022\tRed gums
\n\u2022\tDehydration
\n\u2022\tHigh temperature of 104 F and higher
\n\u2022\tVomiting
\n\u2022\tDiarrhea<\/p>\n

If you suspect your dog is experiencing heatstroke, call your veterinarian right away.<\/p>\n
