This entire week the heat index is expected to be above 100 degrees each day, although some showers may help on the weekend. This is a reminder for everyone to bring in their pets so they can stay cool like you and me. Here are a few ways to help your pet stay cool during this heat wave.
1) Provide plenty of fresh cool water so that your pets may cool down.
2) Don't leave or keep your pets outdoors for long periods of time.
3) Walk them during the coolest times of the day.
Most importantly, try using common sense. Try wearing a fur coat in this weather and you can feel what your pet feels in hot, humid heat!!
REMINDER:
NAFA's sponsored low cost vaccination clinic by Dr. Jack Jones, DVM this Saturday, August 14th from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. will provide individuals with handouts that explain tips for helping keep your pet cool. While individuals must qualify for veterinary services- vaccinations, heartworn testing, heartworm preventative (with negative test result), deworming . Literature, help and tips are free. Dr. Jones will also provide tips for immediate action should you believe your pet is suffering from heat stroke.
The low cost vaccination clinic will be held at NAFA's Disaster Building which is located at 233 North Gee Street - red and white building at the corner of Gee Street and Dan Avenue across from Riceland Foods. Individuals who arrived too late at the Brookland Clinic on July 31st are eligible for services at this clinic only.
Keep Cool,
Tut
