That’s why Alicia Grace, owner of Pink Flamingo Stables, has to take extra steps to keep her horses safe and healthy in South Florida’s hot and humid climate. And while house pets are easier to keep cool, Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control spokeswoman Arielle Weinberger says pet owners still have to remain vigilant during the summer.
