The heatwave continues this week, with heat advisories in effect across the area and temperatures forecast in the triple digits.

 

While the hot weather is hard on humans it can also be difficult for animals. Coffeyville Friends of Animals Becky Barnhart says heat stroke can occur easily in a dog. 

 

 Barnhart says it is important to watch for the signs of heat stress in dogs.

 

For outdoor animals, ensure they have a shaded area to seek relief and make sure they have plenty of cool, clean water available throughout the day.
