Keep Your Pets Safe, Cool, and Happy During the Hot Season
Summer in Egypt means blazing sun, rising temps, and long days and while we humans can escape to air-conditioned rooms, our furry friends rely on us to keep them comfortable and safe. Heat can be dangerous for pets, leading to dehydration, heatstroke, or burned paws.
Here’s your ultimate guide to helping your pet beat the heat like a pro.
💦 1. Hydration is EVERYTHING
Always ensure your pet has access to fresh, clean water indoors and outdoors. If you’re heading out with your pet, don’t forget a portable water bottle or collapsible bowl.
🧊 2. Cool Down with the Right Gear
Heat stress can happen fast. Consider using cooling mats, breathable beds, or even placing damp towels on the floor for your pet to lie on.
🚫 3. Avoid Hot Pavements
If it’s too hot for your bare feet, it’s too hot for your pet’s paws. Try walking your dog early in the morning or after sunset. Paw balm can help protect and soothe sensitive pads.
🦟 4. Protect Against Fleas and Ticks
Hot months = active parasite season. Fleas and ticks thrive in summer, putting your pet at risk for infections and diseases.
Protect them: Use vet-approved flea and tick treatments like NexGard, Frontline, or flea collars. We’ve got them all!
🐶 5. Never Leave Pets in the Car
Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a car can soar to dangerous levels in minutes. A quick errand can turn into a deadly mistake.
Rule of paw: If you can’t bring your pet inside, leave them safely at home.
🌬️ 6. Groom Smartly
Brush your pet regularly to remove excess fur, but don’t shave them unless your vet advises it, their coat actually protects them from sunburn.

🎾 7. Keep Them Mentally Stimulated Indoors
Too hot to walk outside? Try puzzle toys, treat dispensers, or hide-and-seek games to keep them entertained at home.
✅ Final Tip: Know the Signs of Heatstroke
Watch for:
• Excessive panting
• Lethargy or confusion
• Drooling
• Vomiting
• Bright red gums
If you see any of these, move your pet to a cool place immediately and contact your vet.
