Four dogs die yesterday in heat; humane society reminds you to water, shade pets

Pam Testi of the Daviess County Humane Society reports that four dogs died in Gallatin yesterday due to the extreme heat.

She reminds owners in Gallatin and the surrounding community to make sure their pets have plenty of water and shade.

"A baby pool of water is helpful," Mrs. Testi said. "Or you might want to hose your dog down."
She recommends owners check the water at least twice a day and provide the animal with a place to get away from the heat. Owners with dogs on chains should keep an eye that they not get tangled to where they can’t reach water or shade.

Most importantly, if you see an animal suffering from the heat, remind the owner or call the Daviess County Humane Society at 660-605-4072 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              660-605-4072      end_of_the_skype_highlighting.

If your dog does suffer from heat stroke, the humane society’s veterinarian recommends giving the dog a cool bath or placing an ice pack on the inner legs to try and bring the inner temperature down.
