Heatstroke can happen FAST — especially during Texas summers. ☀️

Pets cannot cool themselves the same way humans do, and even a short amount of heat exposure can quickly become dangerous.

🚨 Signs of heatstroke include: • Excessive panting
• Thick drooling
• Bright red or pale gums
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Weakness or collapse • Disorientation
• Rapid heart rate
• Trouble breathing
• Seizures

If you suspect heatstroke:
✔ Move your pet to a cool area immediately
✔ Offer small amounts of water
✔ Use cool (NOT ice cold) water on paws/body
✔ Contact a veterinarian ASAP

Heatstroke is always an emergency and early intervention can save lives. 💙

Save this post — you never know when this information could help a pet in an emergency.
