TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR CATS & DOGS COOL IN SUMMER
1 - Don't leave any pet in a parked car!
2 - Allow your pet to find their own spot in the house that is cool for them (maybe on tile floor, inside a bathtub or sink, etc). Put a freezer pack or frozen water bottle in/under your cat's bed.
3 - Make sure there is cool areas for them outside such as shade from trees, a tarp/umbrella to provide shade and set up a kiddie pool for the dogs. Other cooling options include putting down a wet towel to lay on or using a cooling mat. If your cat goes outside, ensure they can't get trapped in hot buildings such as greenhouses. Avoid exercise in the hottest part of the day.
4 - Always have plenty of fresh drinking water available.
5 - Feed your pet a "cool" treat! Pet ice cream, frozen raw bone or treat, pet popsicle, etc.
6 - Cool down your dog by spraying water on their feet and belly.
