Pets and livestock are at risk in heat

Pets and livestock suffer from the heat.   Make sure all pets and livestock have access to cool, clean water and shade. Try to provide shade for all animals pastured outside. Consider adding shade cloth or tarps to an area to provide shade or open pastures to areas where trees or buildings provide shade.

Limit exercising your pet to early morning or late evening hours when it is cooler. Some of the signs of heatstroke in pets include heavy panting, glazed eyes, and excessive thirst. Seek veterinary assistance immediately.

 

Never leave an animal tied up outside without shelter and fresh cool water. Large animals should be sprayed down with cool water if possible. Fresh water and shade must be provided.
