1. Never leave your pets in a hot car. Cars can get very hot in a short time.
2. Protect your pets from direct sunlight. If you need to take your dog outside, do it in the early morning or late evening. Be careful because the pavement can be very hot.
3. Protect your pets' skin. You can use special lotions to protect your pets' skin from the sun. It's especially important to protect their ears and nose.
4. Make sure your pets have access to water. Add ice cubes to their water bowl or make them frozen treats. When you go outside, fill their water bowl and bring enough water.
5. Limit your pets' activity. On hot days, limit your pets' activity. For example, don't take your dog outside during the hottest part of the day.
6. Know where your pets are. Especially for cats, make sure they don't get locked in a hot greenhouse or barn. When you open your windows or balcony doors, think about your pets' safety.
7. Provide suitable conditions for your fish, reptiles, and birds. Keep their aquariums or cages away from direct sunlight and change their water regularly.
8. You can help wild animals too. By providing fresh water and a clean swimming area in your garden, you can help wild animals.
