    We plan for fire safety in our homes.  We have working smoke alarms, we practice our escape plan but, have you planned for your pet's fire safety?

Remember, if it’s too cold for you, it’s probably too cold for your pet, so keep your animals inside. If left outdoors, pets can freeze, become disoriented, lost, stolen, injured or killed. In addition, don’t leave pets alone in a car during cold weather, as cars can act as refrigerators that hold in the cold and cause animals to freeze to death.

Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it’s hot or humid outdoors. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful not to over-exercise them, and keep them indoors when it’s extremely hot.

Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. Not only can it lead to fatal heat stroke, but it is also illegal in many states!
