Protect your pets during hot weather

Protect your pets during hot weather

The Seattle Animal Shelter reminds pet owners to use common sense and good judgment during the heat of summer.

Don't leave your pet in your car. On hot days, cars left in direct sunlight can reach temperatures of 130 degrees. Even dogs left in cars with the windows cracked and in the shade risk brain damage or death on hot days.

Other tips from the animal shelter: Never leave animals chained or penned in direct sunlight; provide shady areas where animals can retreat, and provide cool water; avoid overexerting animals in hot weather; and if animals are left indoors where there is no air conditioning, open the windows, keep a fan running and provide plenty of water.

for everything for dogs...
