Keep your
a pet's tender footpads, and too
much exercise when it’s hot can
put a strain on the pet’s ability to
get rid of excess body heat.
Confining a pet in a parked car
can be very dangerous, but if you
must do it, make sure you’re
parked in the shade and open all
windows as far as you can without
“Boy, i gotta hand it to you, Jeffrey. You sure got the best
in THAT trade!"

Meckley says it is not a good idea
to give a dog or cat a shorter-than
normal summertime haircut, since
an animal’s coat insulates against
the heat *as well as. the cold.
Animals normally shed during hot
weather, so regular brushing
keeps them well groomed and also
helps you spot fleas and ticks.
Keep your animals comfortable
and healthy this summer by
paying attention to their special
summertime needs.
