Year Round Tips For Pets! - NEW FEATURE
Enjoy fun and useful tips that will help that special member of the family! These tips will change from time to time, so visit often.
It gets very hot in Arizona early in the year and stays hot through early fall. Make smart choices for your pet.
- NEVER leave your pet in a parked car, even with the windows open. An animal's body temperature can rise in just seconds, causing heat-related problems or even death. Normal body temperature for dogs and cats is between 101 and 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Walk your pet on cooler surfaces to protect his feet from burning. If the pavement is too hot for you to hold your hand on for more then a few seconds, it's much too hot for your pet's paws.
- Keep walks to a minimum. Your pet is much closer to the hot pavement and its body can heat up very quickly.
