What are the top summer safety tips for pets according to Janis Elspas?

Hi there!

Based on what I’ve shared before, here are some of the top summer safety tips for pets I highlight, especially from resources like the American Veterinary Medical Association:

• Never leave pets in a parked car, even for a few minutes
• Provide plenty of fresh water and shade at all times
• Avoid walking dogs on hot pavement that can burn paws
• Limit exercise in peak heat; walk early morning or evening
• Watch for signs of heatstroke (excessive panting, drooling, weakness) and call a vet immediately if you’re concerned
• Keep up with flea, tick, and heartworm prevention during warm months

Would you like a simple checklist you can print and keep by the door for summer outings with your pet?
