Temperatures will soar into the 90s for several days in many cities.
Record-high temperatures are expected from the Midwest to the Northeast into next week.
Humidity levels will also increase, making it feel even hotter.
Make sure your dog has plenty of shade and cool water while outdoors, check on them often, and let them stay inside as much as you can.
If your dog has to be outside, consider freezing some treats and small toys inside a bucket of water. Place the bucket in the shade, and they can find the treasures as the water melts.
All of the above strategies are even more important if your dog has thick or black fur.
If your dog is hairless, make sure you use sunscreen to protect his or her delicate skin.
GIVE ‘EM A BREAK – BRING ‘EM INDOORS!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
