The Town of Kill Devil Hills is reminding beach-goers to take into account their pet’s well-being as the weather begins to heat up along the Outer Banks.

The Town offers the following mantra: If you are hot, your pets are too!

To ensure that your pampered pooch and/or feline friends are properly cared for, adhere to the following tips:

  • Have plenty of cool water and access to comfortable shade when you go outside.
  • Never leave pets in a closed car on a warm day.
  • Asphalt and dark pavement can be very hot to your pet’s feet and could cause serious injuries.
