Keep your pup safe this summer; leave them at home when it's hot out. Their paws will thank you! @ColumbusDogConnection #puppylove

It's summer! This means the temperatures are rising. During a heat advisory, here are some things to consider:

Drink plenty of fluids...
Stay in an air-conditioned room...
Stay out of the sun...
and check up on relatives and neighbors.

Heat illnesses are dangerous, stay safe!
