Even though Summer is technically over for kids, the heat of Summer is still around. We are going into our 9th day with a Heat Advisory. Just as we are extra cautious for our kids, elderly & ourselves during the intense heat, we also need to take precautions for our pets. Over the last two weeks, when the heat index ranged from 105 to 116 degrees, we have heard of several dogs who have gotten over-heated or suffered from heat stroke. Do you know the signs to look for in your dog? Do you know what to do in the event that your dog gets over-heated? Here is some information that hopefully you will find helpful.

Prevention
Toxins such as antifreeze, ibuprofen, grapes, and raisins have been linked to acute kidney failure in dogs. Be sure to keep such items out of reach from your four legged companion.
