·If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your pet.

·Stick to the grass! Don’t let your dog walk on concrete and pavement.

·Remember to stay hydrated for both you and your pet.

·Your pets can get sunburned and there is dog-safe sunscreen you can use.

·Certain breeds are more susceptible to heat than others. Like huskies (because of all that fur) or pugs and bulldogs (because of their short noses). These types of dogs can't cool themselves like other dogs can and their owners should be aware of that.

Make sure you know the signs of heatstroke in pets. These can include:

·Excessive panting

·Excessive drooling

·Difficulty breathing

·Vomiting

·Diarrhea, with or without blood

·Weakness

·Incoordination or stumbling

·Sudden collapse

·Seizures
