*Pet Safety in the Summer Heat * Don't forget that our fur babies feel the
heat in the summertime too!  Here are some suggestions to keep your pets
happy and healthy this summer:

   - Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so make certain they have access to
   plenty of clean, fresh water at all times.
   - Consider keeping your pets indoors when it's hot or humid outside. If
   they must be outdoors, make certain they have a shady place out of the sun
   and please bring them indoors when it is extremely hot.
   - Hot sidewalks can burn paws, so only take your pet for a walk in the
   early morning or when it cools off in the evening.
   - Insecticides can be toxic to pets, so keep them out of reach.
   - Picnic and barbecue food can be fatal, so keep things like grapes,
   onions, raisins, chocolate and xylitol away from your pets.
   - Dogs with flat faces, like Pugs and similar breeds, ar more
   susceptible to heat stroke since they can't pant as effectively as other
   dog breeds. These breeds should be kept in cool, indoors areas as much as
   possible.
   - Know the symptoms of overheating in pets, including excessive panting,
   difficulty breathing, heavy drooling, mild weakness, stupor or collapse.
   - NEVER leave your pet alone in a parked vehicle! It can lead to
   heatstroke.
   - Don't leave your pets unsupervised near swimming pools as not all dogs
   are good swimmers.
   - There are often fireworks during the summer for various events, so
   keep your pets indoors if this is happening nearby. The noise can be very
   traumatic for them, and often they will escape and get lost or hit by a car
   to escape the noise. Keep them safe in a quiet, sheltered and escape-proof
   area of your house.
