 Dr. Sandra Fay is president of the American Veterinary Medical Association and has news that animals can use to get through the heat. She is in Austin, Texas, where there's a forecast for 94 degrees today. Good morning. Good morning. Do pets have more trouble with heat than people do? Absolutely. So if it's hot outside for you, it's most likely even hotter for your pet. And when in doubt, leave them at home. I know we love having them with us, but we'd rather have them healthy at home. Why is it worse for the pet? I don't understand.
