Dog Days

Dogs enjoy the summer too. But they need protection, just like we do. Here’s how to keep your pets safe in the summer heat.
Temperatures can get hot inside a parked car (above). A dog could suffer heat stroke. Take your pet with you when you leave the car.

Concrete sidewalks heat up in the sun. They can burn your dog’s paws. Dog shoes are a must. They don’t just prevent injury. They’re stylish, too!

Pets need to stay hydrated. Take fresh water when you walk your dog on a hot day. Ice cubes are a nice cool treat.
