Resharing a great reminder from one of our favorites Laura Bannon as we head into this heat wave—hot weather can be dangerous for our pets, especially dogs who overheat much faster than we do. 🐾☀️

Stick to early morning or late evening walks, keep plenty of fresh water available, and watch closely for signs of overheating.

Stay safe and keep those furry family members cool this week!

Early mornings and late evenings are your safest bet. Dogs can overheat much faster than we do. 🐾 ☀️

Go visit our favorite butcher Freedom Butchers for your holiday meats! Best in the area!
