| HELP 'EM BEAT THE HEAT - What do to in a Heat Emergency | |
In the dog days of summer when temperatures climb, we may forget our best friends are wearing fur coats year 'round and may need our help to keep cool. REMEMBER, it is DANGEROUS to leave children or pets in a car for ANY length of time. Even with the windows "cracked" and water available small children, dogs, cats and the elderly can quickly and often fatally succumb to heat stroke, so don't take any chances. |

| IN CASE of Emergency... | ||
 |
Know the signs of heat exhaustion. | |
|
|
Remove the animal to a cool, shaded area. | |
|
|
Apply cool -- not cold -- water all over the animal to bring down his/her body temperature. | |
|
|
If
it is not your animal, contact authorities and take immediate steps
to save the animal's life. |
|
|
|
Provide cool water for the animal to drink (encourage slow drinking at first to prevent a shock to the system), and/or allow him/her to suck and chew on ice cubes. | |
