As the sun bears down during this blazing heat wave, remember that your furry companions need protection too. Just like us, pets can suffer from sunburns and heat stroke. It’s important to slather on some sunscreen on exposed areas of your pets’ skin, akin to how you would protect your own skin from harmful rays. And don’t forget to find shady spots for your doggos to escape the scorching heat! While we can sweat, dogs pant to cool down, but sometimes it’s not enough. Applying sunscreen to their noses, ears, and bellies can offer relief and safeguard them against painful sunburns. Additionally, keeping your pets hydrated and avoiding midday walks when temperatures are at their peak can help prevent heat stroke. So grab that bottle of sunscreen for yourself and get one for your furry friend too!
