☀️ Summer temps have arrived in Texas, and that means more outdoor fun with your favorite four-legged friend! Before you head out for adventure, take a moment to make sure your pup stays safe in the heat. A few simple precautions can go a long way: ☀️ Always provide access to clean water and a shady spot when your dog is outside. 🚫 Never leave your dog in a parked car—not even for a minute, even if windows are cracked or you’re in the shade. 🔥 If it feels hot to you, it’s even tougher on your dog. 👣 Test the ground with your bare foot—if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws. Pavement can cause painful burns. 🌅 Aim for walks and playtime during the cooler hours—early morning or evening is best. Want to learn more about preventing heat-related issues in pets?
