Summer is upon us and many parts of the country jury are experiencing extreme heat. Both people and animals can suffer severely in extreme heat, but pets can't always tell us just how hot they are. Keeping your pets inside is the easiest way to make sure they do not get overheated, but for some people that may not be an option.
If your animals are outside, there are some things you can do to keep them as cool as possible. Make sure they have access to shade at all times and keep food and water in the shade. I've even heard of adding some ice cubes to a larger water dish so the water doesn't get too warm.
Please share your own tips for different animals so we can all be informed and keep our pets safe this summer.
