Hydration and Heat: Prepping Your Pet for Warmer Days
As temperatures rise in May, hydration becomes one of the most important parts of daily pet care. Unlike us, pets can't tell you when they're thirsty—so it's up to you to be proactive.
Know the Signs of Dehydration:
Dry gums, sunken eyes, lethargy, or panting (even without activity) may point to dehydration. In hot weather, even mild exercise can trigger it.
Make Water Easy to Access:
Keep water bowls in multiple locations and refresh them twice a day. Cats especially respond well to flowing water—consider a pet fountain to encourage drinking.
Walking & Water Tips:
Bring water on long walks and avoid hot pavement that can overheat your pet and burn paws. Early morning and late evening walks are safer.
Wet Food Can Help:
Incorporating some wet food or broth-based treats can boost fluid intake without a full diet change.
Our Role in Warm Weather Care:
We make hydration a priority during walks and visits—refilling bowls, monitoring fatigue, and checking for heat stress symptoms.
Staying cool and hydrated is the first line of defense against heat-related illnesses. A little awareness goes a long way.
