It’s the first day of summer and time for a reminder to keep your pets cool during the hot weather.  Today the temperature was in the mid-90’s in Northeastern Pennsylvania and the humidity is about a zillion percent, making it feel even hotter!  Pets can develop heat stroke quite quickly [and it can be fatal!], so be sure to keep them indoors, in the A/C if possible, restrict exercise to cooler times of the day [early morning or evening], provide ample amounts of fresh clean water, and never leave your pet in a hot car – not even for a minute!  You can also purchase a cooling mat for your pet to lay on that you fill with water and it stays cool or a cooling neck wrap.  The dog in the blog image is wearing a wrap that was dipped in cool water, rung out, and placed around his head to keep him cool.  Whatever your method, please keep your pets safe this summer!
