Ask The Vet: Keeping your pets safe in the summer

Q: How hot is too hot for my pets?

A: We are now in the hottest part of summer in northern Arizona, and even though our temperatures do not reach the extremes of those in Phoenix, we still experience heats that can be dangerous to pets. Whether you are taking your dog for a hike or driving your cat in the car to go to the veterinarian, it is very important to be aware of how hot your pet may be feeling.
