A Valley veterinarian said that while you’re keeping cool during a hot day, it's important to keep an eye on your pets as well.

Alcohol, water, and a thermometer are needed if a dog is overheating, according to Dr. Noel Ramirez with Ram Spay & Neuter.

Dr. Ramirez said the alcohol can be rubbed on a dog’s stomach and their paw pads. 

Water should be gently put on your animal to help cool them down. If their temperature is over 102 degrees Fahrenheit, veterinary care should be given immediately.
