If your pet shows the symptoms of heatstroke, move it into the shade and reduce its temperature by either soaking it with cold water or placing it in an ice bath. If your pet is conscious, give it a small amount of water or allow it to lick ice cubes. Finally, bring your pet to a veterinarian immediately. Don't move the animal until you reduce its temperature. Keep the grass cut short to reduce the chances of ear mite and tick infestations.
Ear mites and ticks are more common in summer.
Remove the fecal matter from the yard as soon as possible. The feces will attract flies which will bite your pet, most commonly in the ears. Remove leaf piles because the moist, cool leaves will attract bufo toads. Bufo or marine toads excrete a toxin that can be fatal to dogs and can cause irritation to humans. Dogs exposed to the toxin will foam at the mouth.
