There are several things to think about both indoors and outdoors.

Two tips are to keep the indoor temperature as low as possible and always have a well-filled bowl of water near the animal.

- When you go for walks, you should always bring water with you, says Sandra Douglas, veterinarian.

The asphalt can get very hot

- If you are out for a walk with your dog or cat, you should also feel the temperature on the asphalt yourself. If it burns against the palm of the hand, then it is also hot for the animal's paws, says Sandra Douglas to SVT.
