If you\u2019ve been in Canada for most of this summer, you know that it has been a hot<\/em> season so far! It\u2019s a much-needed break from our cold winters, but it also means that there are certain safety precautions you should take to ensure the well-being of your pet.<\/p>\n

Just as heat waves are uncomfortable for humans, animals experience the same discomfort. If you have ever lived somewhere without air conditioning, you know what we mean! Unfortunately, you can\u2019t always control if you have working air conditioning, but here are four things you can control to keep your pet safe this summer:<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Leave Animals in Cars<\/strong><\/p>\n

No matter how short you think your errand may be, please remember that cars heat up very quickly. You may see this reminder on the news fairly regularly in regards to small children, but of course we need to take care of our furry friends as well! Also, be aware that cracking a window does little to prevent a car from feeling like 50\u00b0C after only 20 minutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take Early or Late Walks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Concrete, asphalt, and other types of pavement also retain a lot of heat. When the sun is highest in the sky, pavement has been known to reach 62\u00b0C<\/a> or higher! To keep your dog\u2019s paw pads safe from burning, we suggest only walking them early in the morning or late in the evening. If that is not possible, place the back of your hand on the ground before walking. If it is too hot for your hand, it is too hot for your dog.<\/p>\n

Protect Against Parasites<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you own a dog or have an outdoor cat, parasites like roundworms, ticks, or fleas may come home with your pet. Although your pet can be vaccinated to ward off some parasites, you may still come into contact with parasites. Regularly check your pet for ticks<\/a> and fleas<\/a>, and try to prevent your pet from eating mice or other small animals that can carry roundworm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Be Wary of Loud Noises<\/strong><\/p>\n

Summertime often brings with it thunderstorms and firework celebrations. If your pet is fearful of thunder or fireworks, ensure they are safe inside so they don\u2019t run off scared. If you are creating your own firework display, it\u2019s particularly important that your pet stays inside or at a safe distance so they don\u2019t run towards it.<\/p>\n

There are also many summer travel tips<\/a> to consider if you are planning on taking your pet on vacation with you this season. For instance, keep in mind that short-nosed pets<\/a>, like pugs or Persian cats, have a harder time breathing than most other animals, so they shouldn\u2019t travel by plane if the temperature will exceed 24\u00b0C at any point during the trip.<\/p>\n
