Brimbank pet owners are reminded to keep their animals cool this summer, and don’t spare the ice cubes. With hot weather ahead, PETstock Taylors Lakes store manager David Munn stresses that people should be aware of the risks to their pets. David says it is important to make sure cool, clean water is available all day, and to never leave pets in cars. Keep an eye out for dangerous conditions, such as dehydration and heat stroke, he warns. “When possible, bring your pet inside to escape the heat; always ensure your pet’s water bowls remain full, and add ice cubes on warmer days to keep the water cooler for longer, or freeze some treats,” he says. “You can even try freezing watermelon, apple or cucumber for a tasty snack.”
