- Provide ample shade for your pets in the backyard and multiple water sources.
- Never leave pets tethered in backyards – they can get tangled, leaving them unable to reach water and shade.
- Keep pet playtime and daily walks to early morning and late afternoon. Avoid hot bitumen for doggy paw pads!
- Never leave pets unattended in cars – cars turn into ovens within a matter of minutes.
- Make sure dogs in Utes have shade, water, and can’t burn their feet on hot trays.
- Keep careful eye on flat face breeds as they are prone to overheating.
- Make sure your livestock, hens and horses all have shade and water too.
- Move small pet enclosures for birds, guinea pigs and fish, out of the direct sun
