Help Protect Your Pet From the Danger Summer Heat Brings

Jun 06, 2005

SHADE Pets MUST have access to shade during the entire day. What
was shady in the morning may not be shady in the afternoon.

WATER Pets MUST have access to cool and clean water at all times.
Keep water in a container that will not tip over. You can place the water
in the shade, use an automatic watering dish.

TIEOUTS ARE ILLEGAL IN THE CITY AND COUNTY they can get tangled
and prevent your pet from reaching shade or cool water.

NEVER leave your pet in a hot car, opening a window does nothing to
keep your pet cool. Leave them home if you need to leave your car.
