CASPER, Wyo. — Metro Animal Shelter recently released a list of several animal safety tips to keep pets healthy and safe over the summer as temperatures climb.
Metro urges pet owners to be mindful of behavior changes and to contact their veterinarian if they notice any notable changes.
Summer Pet Safety Tips:
- Keep your pet on a leash when on walks or in public areas.
- Make sure your pet is up to date on vaccinations.
- ID your pets. Have your pet microchipped, registered and wearing a collar. ID tags are available at Metro Animal Shelter.
- Always have shade and fresh water available for your pet.
- Never leave a pet in a car unattended. Temperatures in cars rise dramatically in minutes, even with the windows open.
- Avoid strenuous activities with pets on hot days.
