With these skyrocketing temperatures, please keep your pet safe and cool inside at home. High temperatures make it difficult for pets to cool themselves and heatstroke can be fatal. 💔 On top of potentially losing your furry bestie, you could be fined $697.50.

If you see an animal in distress in a parked vehicle, remember to ACT. A-C-T. ❗

A – Assess the situation. Signs that a pet may be in distress from overheating include exaggerated panting, rapid breathing, drooling, dark pink gums, lack of coordination, inability to get up, vomiting, convulsions or collapse. 😿
C – Collect information. Note relevant information about the vehicle (make, model, license plate, colour, exact location) and pet’s description (species, size, colour, breed if known). 🚗🐾
T – Time to call. ☎️ If you cannot find the owner and the animal is in distress, call your local police, RCMP, or the Nova Scotia SPCA at 1-888-703-7722 and stay at the vehicle until reinforcements arrive.

Share and save this and you could save a life. 💙
