Texas summers are legendary — full of sunshine, sizzling BBQs, and outdoor fun. But if you’re a pet parent in the Lone Star State, you know that extreme heat can be dangerous for your furry companion. Whether you're exploring Austin's trails or lounging in a Houston dog park, keeping your pet safe during the summer is a top priority.

Here are our top heat safety tips for pets — and how custom pet ID tags play a crucial role in protecting your best friend.

🔥 1. Know the Signs of Overheating

Texas temperatures often soar past 100°F. That means even short walks can lead to overheating. Watch for excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, or collapse.

Always bring water and seek shade during outdoor activities. Never leave pets in a parked car.

Tip: Use lightweight, visible engraved dog tags for added safety on summer walks.

🐾 2. Walk Early or Late

Avoid peak heat hours (10 a.m.–4 p.m.). Early or evening walks protect paws and prevent overheating.

Style your pet with cute dog tags or Texas pet ID tags that show off their personality.

🐕 3. Keep ID Tags On at All Times

During hot months, pets are more likely to panic or escape. Always use clearly engraved custom pet tags with your current contact details.

🌴 4. Pool Time & Water Safety

Love lake trips or backyard pools? Choose water-friendly beach dog tags that hold up to splashes and swims.

🏡 5. Keep Outdoor Spaces Safe

Always provide shade, water, and secure fencing. If pets get out, a durable engraved pet tag makes recovery faster.
