Read the full storyAs temperatures soar across the state, it's essential to take extra care of our furry, feathered, and scaly companions this summer. In accordance with the guidelines set out by the RSPCA Queensland, we have put together some important tips to keep your pets cool, comfortable, and safe in the heat.
DOGS
Dogs don’t sweat like humans, so they rely on panting and finding cool spots to regulate their body temperature. High humidity and heat can make this process less efficient, so always ensure your dog has access to fresh water.
Outside your home, make sure to provide plenty of shade, and avoid leaving your pups in confined hot areas like doghouses, however, in extreme heat, it’s best to keep your pets indoors in a well-ventilated space.
You can also create cool spots for your pets to lay by dampening their bed, using cool mats available in pet stores, or setting up a small kiddie pool in a shaded area. Another fun way to beat the heat is by making homemade frozen treats or ‘pupsicles’ to keep them entertained and cool.
It’s essential to remember to never leave your pet in a car during hot weather as it can be fatal, and always be mindful of heat stress symptoms, such as excessive panting or salivation.
CATS
Cats also need extra care during the heat, and simple tasks like keeping their water in a cool, shaded area and offering a fan or damp towels for them to lay on will go a long way.
SMALLER PETS
Guinea pigs and birds are also vulnerable to heat stress, and it’s highly beneficial to ensure they have plenty of fresh water, shade, and cool surfaces to rest on. For fish, monitor the water temperature closely, and for larger livestock, make sure they also always have access to shade and water.
In taking these simple steps, you can help ensure that your pets stay safe, comfortable, and healthy during the summer months. Remember to always monitor for signs of heat stress, and don’t hesitate to seek veterinary assistance if needed. Visit www.rspcaqld.org.au for more tips on how to keep your pets chill this summer.
