After a frigid start to the month we are now flipping over to some much warmer weather.
This return of summer-like weather will be perfect for all you pet parents. Mostly sunny and warm through much of the week with highs in the mid 60s.
Mornings will still be a little chilly out to start the week but will also gradually warm into the mid 40s.
Take advantage of the dry and sunny days because it will be short-lived!
Our next chance for rain will come later in the day on Thursday so take advantage of your walks in the early part of the day. Much of the rain will then taper off Friday morning with cooler weather building into the weekend.
Enjoy the second summer and even though it's November, make sure you're keeping your pets cool and hydrated!
Never leave your pets unattended in your vehicles even if it's just for a couple minutes.
Temperatures of just 70 degrees can get over 100 degrees inside a vehicle. In 10 minutes the inside of a car can get over 100 degrees when the air temperature is in the mid 80s.
Not only is the heat inside your car dangerous, but also outside on the ground.
The ground can get extremely hot too, so you'll want to avoid walking your pets on concrete or asphalt services. At an air temperature of 77 degrees the asphalt temperature can get over 120 degrees. Once at 125 degrees, skin destruction car occur on your pets' paws within a minute.
It's always good to walk your pets on grassy or shaded surfaces. Just because it's not hot outside doesn't mean the ground isn't hot!
Many of our pets haven't been out in this kind of weather in quite some time, so keep your walks short to start and make sure that they are drinking plenty of water.
Be smart with your walks and always make sure you're keeping a close eye on your pets while their outside.
Enjoy your walks and as always, keep your pets safe!
