During the summer, there is an increase in pet accidents and injuries because more pets are outside. 
Do not leave your pet outside unsupervised unless he is in a safe enclosed fenced area. Pets need time to get acclimated to the summer heat. Be certain to have a shaded area that your pet can rest under without the hot sun beating down on him. Remember that the sun moves so make sure he has shade all day. If the weather is over 80 degrees, let you pet come inside to cool off or even stay inside all day.
Never let you pet run loose. This is how pets get in fights with other dogs or animals, can bite people or get hit by a vehicle. Always have your pet on a leash when you are walking him.
Most important is to make sure cool, clean, fresh water is available. Many different outdoor dog waterers are available. The WaterDog Outdoor Pet Fountain operates automatically. The WaterDog actually will sense your dog’s approach to it for water. It uses smart sonar sensing technology to trigger the WaterDog to turn on when you pet approaches within 3 feet. It turns off automatically when your pet leaves. The WaterDog connects easily and quickly to any outdoor faucet. It als includes a flow-through connector to accommodate a garden hose as well. The WaterDog operates on foud C-cell batteries and will last for up to one year.
A more basic outdoor waterer is the EverFull Bowl Auto Waterer This automatic dog watering system easily attaches to your garden hose. Simply attach the 3/4 foot hose to your garden hose, turn on the tapand the bowl automatically fills to the same level, no overflowing, every time your pet takes a drink. The extra large pan is constructed from galvanized steel with the dimesons of 17 L x 17 W x 3.75 H in inches.
NEVER LEAVE YOUR PET IN A CAR in warm weather. Even with the windows cracked open, your car can become a death trap for your pet. Even in the shade, a car can be 10 to 20 degrees hotter than outdoors, and cracking the window has almost NO effect. At a pleasant 72 degrees, a car in direct sun can reach an internal temperature of 116 in a few minutes. At 90 degrees outside, the interior of a vehicle can heat up to 160 degrees within several minutes. A dog’s normal temperature is around 101. Once a dog’s body temperature gets over about 106 the result is everything from nerve damage, heart problems, liver damage, systemic organ failure, and death. It happens within a matter of minutes.
