☀️ With a heatwave hitting most of the PNW this week & next here are some great tips to help keep your furry family members cool & safe! Just like us they’re susceptible to dehydration & heatstroke so we need to help them stay safe and cool when the temperature is rising. 🔥😎🐾
Protect your pet from dehydration and heatstroke by ensuring they have constant access to fresh clean water 💦 and ample shade, never leaving them in parked vehicles 🚗 or any enclosed space without proper ventilation 💨, protecting their paws from hot pavement 🐾, and limiting exercise when the temps or humidity are high. ☀️
Heatstroke is an emergency 🚨 that requires medical intervention as soon as possible! 🚑
Signs of heatstroke in pets can include:
•Dehydration: Vomiting and/or diarrhea; dry, sticky gums; excessive panting; loss of skin elasticity 🌵
•High heart rate 💓
•Body temperature over 104 degrees 🌡
•Collapses or seizures ❤️🩹
If you suspect your pet is suffering from heatstroke, follow these steps and call us (or an emergency vet) IMMEDIATELY. 🆘
•Move them to a cool, shaded area 🌳
•Pour cool (NOT cold) water over their body or use a wet towel to cool them down 🧽💦
•Provide fresh, cold water 💧
