Extreme heat is dangerous for pets. Animals can overheat quickly, even during short time outside. Keep walks brief, provide plenty of water, avoid hot pavement, and bring pets indoors during peak heat. If something seems off, act fast, heat issues escalate quickly.

With extreme heat expected, know the signs of heat illness. Heat exhaustion often starts with dizziness, thirst, or heavy sweating. Acting early can prevent it from getting worse. Heat stroke is a medical emergency that requires calling 911. Stay cool, and stay safe.
