Now
that spring is coming to an end and summer is fast approaching, the trademark
Texas heat is coming.
This signals it is time to remember your furry family
members and how to protect them from overheating in the Brazos Valley sun. There are several things you can do around your new home to ensure your pets will stay
safe.
A
Place to Cool Their Paws
Outdoor
fans are great for humans, but fans alone will not cool down your pets. If your
patio is not well shaded and fills with afternoon sunlight, this will not be a
refuge from the heat for your pet. You will want to make sure there is a nice
shaded area they can retreat while you are away that is out of the sun.
Fresh
Water and Lots of It
Your
pets will need extra water during those sweltering summer days and nights. Even
those indoor pets will want a bit extra to drink. One solution is to purchase a
continuous water bowl that hooks up to a water faucet outside. This way your
dog or cat will have access to fresh cool water all day.
Keep
a Close Eye on Them
Make
sure to keep a close check on your pets for any signs of heat related distress.
Summers in Bryan College Station can
be unbelievable hot at times and your pet could easily have a heatstroke or
heat exhaustion. Try to limit their outdoor activities on really hot days to
reduce the chances of this happening.
With
just these few tips, your four-legged family members will have a happier and
healthier summer. If you have just moved to the area and are used to cooler
weather, these tips will come in handy as all the members of your family settle
in and become acclimated to life in CentralTexas.
