Hi, humans! I’m Stanley and I love summer time. I get to take my humans camping, for boat trips on the lake and lead them on camping adventures! My humans tell me that summer can be dangerous for dogs and cats! Here are some tips for keeping your furry sidekick safe during your summer adventure.

  • Know the signs of overheating: rapid breathing, heavy panting, drooling, fatigue, muscle tremors, and staggering. If you see any of these signs, immediately begin to cool the pet. Provide shade and drinking water in small amounts, apply water to the body to help with cooling, move the animal to a cooler environment if possible, and immediately call a vet.
  • Even on mild days, the temperature inside a vehicle can climb to fatal levels very quickly. When you bring your furry sidekicks along, be sure to stick together. If you’re uncomfortable, they probably are too.
  • Provide dense shade, good ventilation and access to cool water for pets who spend time outside. Provide at least two water sources in weighted containers that will not tip over. A mister or kiddy pool is a big plus! Be sure to choose a site that gets shade all day.
  • Remember that your furry sidekicks can’t cool themselves by sweating. Plan walks or hikes for early morning or evening, and steer clear of any surfaces too hot for your own bare feet.
