Keep pets inside with you where it’s cool.

Provide shade and full water bowls for pets outside.

Walk your dog when it’s cooler.

Get a kiddie pool or mister for your dog.

Leave your pet at home when doing errands.

For the Fourth:

Make sure cats and dogs have current ID tags.

Don’t walk the dog when fireworks start.

Don’t take a pet to a large fireworks display.

Keep pets in a secure, windowless room during neighborhood fireworks.
