Hydration is critical. Keep fresh water available at all times.

Limit exercise and exposure. Stay indoors as much as possible and avoid walks during the day & afternoon.

Never leave pets in a parked car. Temperatures turn deadly in minutes, even with the windows cracked.

Secure your windows. Open windows mean fall risk. High-rise syndrome is a real and preventable danger, make sure all windows have screens or protective barriers.

Protect their paws. Test the temperature of the ground with your hand. If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for their paws.

Know the signs of heat stroke. Excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse require immediate vet attention.

Cooling, done right. Skip wet towels, they trap heat. Pour cool (not ice cold) water instead, focusing on areas with bare skin.

No AC? Keep air moving. Use fans to keep air circulating.
