Taking precautions with high temps

Summer officially arrived this weekend and we’ve got the sweat to prove it.

People sweat to regulate our body temperature but animals don’t. Your pet has to cool himself through his mouth. That’s why you see your dog panting like crazy when the temperatures climb.

If you have an outside dog, especially if it’s on a chain, make sure it can get to good, deep shade and has plenty of fresh, cool water.

If your pooches are inside animals, used to the air conditioning, walk them in the cool of the morning or late afternoon, especially if they are old, overweight or have health problems.

Please don’t leave your animals in a parked car. They may love to ride with you but their lives are in peril while you run in the store for a minute. If it’s already in the ’90s outside, the heat in a closed car can soar to well over 100 degrees in minutes.

Heat stroke is life threatening for both you and your dogs. Take precautions when the heat rises.

For an appointment at the Marshall County Humane Society sponsored, low-cost Spay/Neuter Clinic call 662-252--6196.

For information about adoptions, fostering or anything else about our Humane Society call 662-564-2900.

Correspondence and donations should be sent to the Marshall County Humane Society, P.O. Box 625, Holly Springs, MS 38635.
