Here are some advice from the American Association to prevent cruelty to animals for how to maintain the safe pets in the heat: Providing a lot of fresh water so that they are not dried; Do not overuse the pet exercise. Do not leave the pets alone in a parked car; And watch the symptoms of high temperature, which include excessive joy, difficulty breathing, increased heart and breathing rate.

Flat -faced animals, such as clay, cannot also be affected and more vulnerable to stroke. These pets, as well as old pets and weight gain, should remain as much as possible.

What constitutes a thermal wave?

The heat wave is an unnatural period of hot weather, and generally lasts for two days, according to L. National weather service.

However, the definition of the heat wave varies by area.

In the Middle West and the northeast, the heat wave is three days or more, respectively, of temperatures of no less than 90 degrees. But in Phoenix, for example, temperatures are much higher than 90 degrees and in triple numbers without being a heat wave. So the heat wave is related to the average local temperature and may require much higher temperatures than usual for several days, according to NWS.
