STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Taking precautions — and watching out for signs of heat stress — will ensure your dog stays safe and cool all summer long
  • When taking walks, stick to early morning or evening to take advantage of cooler times of day
  • Avoid hot pavement, which can burn your pet’s paws and lead to overheating; stick to walks on cool grass instead
  • When it’s warm outside, be sure your dog always has access to shade and cool water
  • Watch out for signs of overheating, such as excessive panting and drooling, elevated body temperature, glazed eyes and weakness
