Every year, hundreds of animals die from heat stroke. 5 ways to keep your pet safe: www.glendaleaz.com/fire/news/CrisisResponseDog.cfm 
This is the time of year when many people enjoy the outdoors with their animals and the Glendale Fire Department wants to remind the community about the dangers of strenuous activities in the heat, while providing safety information and tips on how to prevent an animal heat emergency from occurring.
Every year, hundreds of animals die from heat stroke. In 2011, three dogs passed away on hiking trails in Glendale. For every one incident reported, there are dozens of animal fatalities that go unreported. Animals are very similar to small children when it comes to their intolerance of the heat and most of the time when an animal is showing signs of heat exhaustion, it is often too late.
