Please remember that the summer heat impacts your animal companions just like it does humans. Help keep your pets safe this summer by taking these common sense precautions:
- Provide plenty of cool fresh water
- Don't walk your dog for too long in the heat of the day.
- When your pet is outside, make sure you provide plenty of water and enough shade to shelter him or her from the sun
- NEVER EVER EVER leave your pet in a car unattended, even for a minute.

Everyone knows someone who might be struggling to keep their homes, and consequently, their pets. While this can often result in surrendering a pet during a crisis, there are steps all pet parents can take NOW to minimize the chance that you will have to give up a loved companion animal. These include looking now for help in finding Pet Friendly housing, and taking proactive preventative steps such as those outlined below.
- Start a savings account for emergency veterinary care. Even $5 per month can add up to a significant amount.
- Spay and neuter all animals and practice good routine care, including necessary vaccinations, heartworm and flea prevention.
- If, despite your best planning efforts, your veterinary bills are piling up, ask your veterinarian if you can work out a payment plan.
Many organizations that provide help are restricting grants or refusing new applications because of the ongoing economic crisis. However, things are starting to improve and you can still try to find help with costs or pet friendly housing. Some organizations that may help include:
