≈ ≈ ☘️ Water is essential for maintaining animal body temperature

Make sure your pet has access to fresh, clean water. Place several bowls of water in different areas of the house and, if possible, add ice cubes to keep the water cold longer

Create shaded areas in your garden or house where your pet can rest. Indoors, close curtains or shutters to maintain a lower temperature. Fans and air conditioners can also help maintain a comfortable room temperature. No walking during the hottest hours of the day. Prefer walks early in the morning or late in the evening when temperatures are lower. Avoid bitumen which can burn your animals' paws

During periods of high heat, animals may lose their appetite

Give them smaller, more frequent meals. Frozen treats made specifically for pets can also help cool them down. Watch for signs of heatstroke: excessive panting, heavy salivation, lethargy, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. If you observe these symptoms, immediately place your pet in a cool place, apply damp cloths to its body and contact a veterinarian. For long-haired pets, regular grooming can help prevent overheating. Never shave their coat completely, as it provides protection against sunburn
