2. COOL WATER. Place a frozen water bottle in your pet’s water bowl. To make a “moat float,” click here.
3. HEAT EXHAUSTION. Early signs include heavy panting and abnormal resting. Wrap a bag of frozen peas in a towel to cool neck and feet.
4. CAR WINDOWS. Although your dog loves sticking his head out of the window, he could get hit.
5. PET FIRST AID. Keep a pet first aid book and kit handy during summer heat and extra activity.
6. COOL RODENTS. Rodents’ enclosures must be kept below 75 degrees. Put bags of frozen peas under sections of her home.
7. REMEMBER YOUR FISH. Move your fish bowl away from any window that gives any direct sunlight. Don’t add frozen items to aquarium water.
