"Indecency, vulgarity, obscenity - - these are strictly confined to man; he
invented them. Among the higher animals there is no trace of them. They
hide nothing. They are not ashamed."
- Mark Twain
When the Heat's On!
Keep cool. Summer brings hot weather and family vacations. Your pets will be affected by
both. For a healthier, happier summer for you and your pets, follow these tips:
NEVER leave your pets in a parked car, even if the windows are open. Ten minutes could
be too long on a sunny day.....even if you don't think it's very hot outside. By then, the
temperature inside the car could reach 160 degrees. That's hot enough to cause a dog to
suffer heat stroke.
Pets don't perspire as people do. They cool themselves by panting. With only very hot air to
breathe, your pets could suffer permanent brain damage within moments. If emergency
care is not given, your pets could die. They may want to come along, but it's much kinder to
leave your pets at home with plenty of fresh, cool water and shade.
Check your pets regularly for fleas, which are more common in hot weather. For flea control
to be effective, your pets' entire environment must be treated, including the yard. Never use
flea control products for dogs and cats, as they may ingest the powerful chemicals while
grooming.
Without the proper planning, your dream vacation could become a nightmare for your pets. If
they are staying behind, make advance boarding reservations with a veterinary clinic,
reputable kennel or pet sitter, or make arrangements with a responsible friend.
Your pets should always wear collars with proper identification tags, (rabies and/or license)
and be kept under control in accordance with local leash laws. This is even more important
when vacationing, as pets can easily become lost in a strange environment.
