Did you know that heatstroke is one of the leading causes of death in pets during the warmer months, yet it is entirely preventable? Every year, thousands of dogs and cats suffer from heat-related illnesses, often due to simple oversights by their owners. Understanding the dangers of high temperatures and taking proactive steps can save your pet’s life.

One of the most iconic moments in global history occurred on July 14, 1789, with the Storming of the Bastille.
