Cats are usually good at keeping their body temperature in check, but the heat of summer can still be bad for their health. To ensure the well-being of your feline companion, keep these 7 essential tips in mind:
Heat exhaustion and heatstroke are serious. Watch for these indicators:
Ensure clean water is available in several bowls. Wet food is great for extra moisture.
Use cool mats, tile surfaces, and AC. Regular brushing helps remove extra fur.
Metal and pavement burn paws. Stick to grass or shady areas.
Consider a Catio for safety. Visit CatiosofTexas.com for build options in Texas.
Keep up with flea and tick prevention during peak humidity.
Their coat actually protects them from heat. Only clip if a vet suggests it.
