1. Protect your dogs from heat stroke. During these hot days limit the time your dogs are outside and NEVER leave them in a vehicle. Signs of heat stroke may include elevated breathing and heart rates, salivation, changes to gums, nervousness and confusion. Call your vet at once. For more info: vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/
2. If you see the grass cutting crew in the dog park, please leash your dogs for their safety and pass along to others in the park to do the same as well. Because their schedule is always in flux it is not possible to receive advance notice to close the dog park in time.
