San Antonio Humane Society talks summer pet safety
As summer temperatures rise, pet safety becomes a top priority, particularly in the scorching heat of South Texas. The San Antonio Humane Society (SAHS) recognizes the importance of keeping our furry friends safe and has generously shared some hot weather tips. First and foremost, it is crucial to never leave pets in hot cars, as temperatures inside a vehicle can quickly reach life-threatening levels. Carrying an ample supply of water and ensuring access to shade and shelter are also essential. Testing the ground temperature before walks can prevent paw pad burns, and being aware of the signs of overheating, such as excessive panting or drooling, is crucial for timely intervention. Limiting outdoor exercise during the hottest parts of the day further helps protect our beloved pets. The SAHS provides valuable infographics to guide pet parents in safeguarding their furry companions from the summer heat and preventing potential heatstroke.
