Some
dangers that summer poses for dogs and cats are obvious - like heat
stroke - but many others are covert and can easily result in the
death of pets, an animal welfare agency warns.
Many
pet parents may be surprised to learn that dogs and cats are
susceptible to less obvious dangers like high-rise syndrome falls,
drowning and food poisoning, according to the American Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Some
pets will anxiously pace around the house in fear, others will lose
bladder or bowel control from the fright and many others will simply
run away from home - never to be seen again by their families - to
get away from the explosions and flashes.
The
cause of this irrational behavior is fireworks season, the most
terrifying time of the year for cats and dogs. And your pet's chances
of getting lost is at its height as many will runs miles away from
home in an attempt to find solace, animal welfare officials warn.

A
sunny summer day may seem perfect to you for a walk in the park or
along a sandy beach, but these kinds of seemingly delightful days can
be quickly turn into a death trap for playful dogs, a leading animal
welfare agency warns.
Even
short walks along hot pavement, attending outdoor events and sitting
inside automobiles - even with windows open - can quickly lead to
deadly heat stroke for dogs, who are especially susceptible to it
because they lack sweat glands and can only pant to cool down,
according to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
Pet
parents can take some simple actions to help their dogs better cope
with hot weather, an animal welfare official says.
Careful
planning of outdoor activities, such as walks and hikes, and proper
grooming can go a long way toward keeping your dog comfortable in hot
weather, says Gail Furtado, president of Forever
Paws Animal Shelter
in Fall River, Mass.
"Either
go for walks early morning or later evening when it is cooler, Ms.
Furtado told MySetterSam.com in an interview. "Swimming is a
good summer day activity, as long as your dog knows how to swim (not
all dogs know how to swim)."
