A Reminder

For new dog owners and a refresher for us all.  It is summer and the temps are rising.  Dogs sweat through their pads on their feet.  Walking them on a very hot pavement will not only burn their pads but could lead to heat exhaustion or stroke.
Walk your dogs on grass at park or take them to the beach or lake where they can cool down in the water.
Ensure that they are well hydrated and even add ice cubes to their water bowl.

Do not leave your dogin a car for any length of time.  This graph demonstrates how hot it can get inside the car.  For that matter do not leave your child inside either the consequences could be devastating!

Enjoy your summer!
