Niko was such a special pup🐾” wrote Spiranac on X, accompanied by an adorable picture of her with Niko.

With Spiranac still in feels with her personal loss, let’s take a look at all that she has done for animals after becoming a ‘dog mom.’

Paige Spiranac’s passionate plea for animal safety

Back in 2017, golf’s Instagram sensation Paige Spiranac teamed up with PETA to raise awareness about the dangers of hot weather for animals. As a passionate animal lover and dog mom to her adorable pup Niko, she wanted to share an important message to help prevent animal suffering. “If you’ve seen or read the news recently, you know that dogs are dying in the heat,” she warned. She knew speaking up mattered. Using her influence, Spiranac is on a mission to help pet owners keep their furry companions safe in the summer heat.

Spiranac shared some valuable tips to keep dogs safe and cool, and her message was loud and clear. “Remember, if you’re hot, they’re hotter,” she reminded us. “They wear fur coats 24/7 and can’t cool themselves like we can.” She emphasized the importance of keeping dogs indoors when it’s hot outside, where they can stay cool and comfortable. And, of course, ensuring they always have access to cool, clean water is a must.

A few simple steps can keep our furry friends safe from the summer heat. Paige Spiranac’s message is a powerful reminder that it’s on us to protect them. Little did she know that years later, she would face the devastating loss of her beloved Niko, but her thoughts will surely keep inspiring others to do better by the pets. So, do you have any pets?
