Summer is here, and Sarasota heats up quickly! While sunshine and beach days are great, it's crucial to keep your dog safe during the hot Florida months.
- Never leave your dog in a hot car. Even a few minutes can be deadly.
- Provide plenty of fresh, cool water. Keep a water bowl available at all times, both indoors and outdoors.
- Limit walks during the hottest part of the day. Go for walks early in the morning or later in the evening when the pavement is cooler.
- Protect your dog's paws from hot pavement. Consider using dog booties to avoid burns.
- Schedule regular grooming. A shorter haircut can help your dog stay cool.
