Hot weather stresses cats. Adjust diet and care to keep them safe, healthy, and comfortable during summer months.
Always provide fresh, cool water and refill regularly. Cats can dehydrate quickly, especially in hot weather.
Wet or canned food boosts cats' water intake, providing extra hydration needed especially during hot summer months.
Safe fruits like cucumber or seedless watermelon offer cats a refreshing, hydrating treat with extra moisture during hot days.
Rich, fatty foods are harder to digest in heat; offer lighter meals to ease digestion and reduce heat stress for your cat.
Freeze small wet food or broth portions into ice cubes for a cool, tasty snack that lowers your cat’s body temperature and entertains them.
Keep your cat’s diet balanced and complete in summer. Consult your vet before adding new foods or treats to meet nutrition needs.
Keep your cat indoors during peak heat to prevent heatstroke and serious health risks from sun exposure.
Be alert for symptoms like lethargy, dry or sticky gums, sunken eyes, or reduced appetite. If you notice any signs, contact your vet immediately.
With the right food, plenty of water, and mindful care, your cat can stay cool, hydrated, and healthy all summer long.
