Don’t Leave Me In Your Hot Car
I can die in seconds!
If you really love me leave me at home Summer Care Tips For Your Pets
- Pets
can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of water. Make sure
your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun and be careful not to
over exercise them. PLEASE keep them inside when it’s extremely hot.
- Do
not leave pets unsupervised around a pool-NOT all dogs are good
swimmers.
- Be careful of hot asphalt. A pet’s paw pads are
sensitive and can burn easily.
- Lawn and garden insecticides can
be harmful to cats and dogs if ingested. When walking your dog, steer
clear of areas that you suspect have been sprayed with chemicals.
- PLEASE
don’t put your pet in the back of a truck. It is very dangerous.
Flying debris can cause serious injury plus your dog can be thrown into
traffic if you suddenly hit the brakes or swerve.
