Warm weather can sometimes spell danger for our furry companions. To prevent your pet from life-threatening illness and injuries due to overheating, the City’s ACPS (Animal Care and Protective Services) team of personnel recommends following these simple precautions:

• Provide your pets with plenty of fresh, clean water. Pets can become dehydrated quickly.
• Know and be on the lookout for overheating symptoms -- heavy panting, excessive drooling, increased/warm body temperature
• NEVER leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle
• Limit the time your pet is on hot asphalt/concrete which can injure or burn its paws
