NEW YORK—According to a new list released today by the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®), five very common and dangerous conditions could affect your pets this summer.

NEW YORK—The ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) today reminded pet parents and animal lovers how to keep pets safe and healthy during summer’s dog (and cat) days.

“Summertime is a wonderful time for family and friends to get together and enjoy themselves, often with a beloved pet,” says Dr. Steven Hansen, Senior Vice President of ASPCA Animal Health Services. “However, even the healthiest pets can suffer from dehydration, heat stroke and sunburn if they’re overexposed to the heat.”
