Warm Weather Tips for Pets:

Just as with people, pets also can experience a heat stroke when they get severely overheated.

Causes of heat stroke in pets:

NEVER, EVER LEAVE YOUR PET IN A PARKED CAR!
Even with the windows cracked, your pet can quickly suffer heat stroke and even die.

Signs of heat stroke:

Dogs and cats don't have sweat glands so they can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet. Make sure that your pets have plenty of cool water and shade during hot weather.

First Aid:

The goal is to decrease the body temperature to about 104 o F in the first 10- 15 minutes. Once 104 o F is reached, you must stop the cooling process.
