Heatwave warning in Victoria 🥵
Frenchies cannot reduce their temperature and need your help. Please be careful of these precious dogs.
It's too hot for dogs in Victoria when temperatures rise, especially above 25°C (77°F), with dangers increasing significantly over 28°C (82°F), requiring shade, constant cool water, and avoiding exercise to prevent heatstroke, a potentially fatal condition marked by rapid panting, drooling, and lethargy, with flat-faced breeds at even higher risk. Use the "pavement test" (if it's too hot for your hand for 7 seconds, it's too hot for paws) and limit walks to early mornings or late evenings.
Warning Signs of Heatstroke:
Excessive panting, thick saliva, bright red gums.
Vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, dizziness.
Pale gums, seizures, collapse (emergency).
What to Do on Hot Days (Above 25°C/77°F):
Limit Exercise: Early mornings or late evenings only; avoid midday sun.
Provide Water: Always have fresh, cool water available.
Offer Shade: Keep dogs indoors or in shaded, cool areas.
Cooling Products: Consider cooling vests, bandanas, or icy treats (frozen water)
Never in Cars: Do not leave dogs in vehicles.

French Bulldog Heat Safety Plan
1. Daily Temperature Rules
✔ Under 20°C – Normal activity, but still avoid heavy exercise.
✔ 20–25°C – Light walks only; monitor closely.
✔ 25–30°C – No walks. Keep indoors with cooling.
✔ Over 30°C – Strict indoor rest, cold environment.
✔ Over 35°C – High danger. Frenchies should stay inside air-conditioning all day.
2. Safe Walking Routine
• Walk only before 8am or after 8pm, depending on season.
• Keep walks 10–15 minutes max.
• Bring water on all walks.
• Avoid excitement, ball play, or running when it’s warm.
• Check ground temperature with the “7-second hand test”: if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws.
3. Home Cooling Setup
✔ Air-conditioning or a cool room
✔ Fan directed near but not directly onto the dog
✔ Cooling mat or damp towel
✔ Fresh, cold water available at all times
✔ Ice cubes or frozen treats (e.g., frozen broth pops)
4. Outdoor Precautions
• Only allow outside time briefly for toileting.
• Provide full shade and cool surfaces (grass, not concrete).
• Never leave a Frenchie in a car — even for 1 minute.
• Avoid tethering outdoors — they cannot escape the heat.
5. Heat Risk Situations to Avoid
❌ Car travel without strong AC
❌ Walks in sun or warm wind
❌ Heavy exercise or play
❌ Leaving them alone outdoors
❌ Dog parks on warm days
❌ Excitement or stress when it’s hot (it increases body temp)
6. Early Warning Signs of Overheating
Watch closely for:
• Noisy or heavy panting
• Struggling to breathe
• Drooling
• Red gums or tongue
• Slowing down or laying down suddenly
• Vomiting
• Glassy eyes
If any of these appear → Immediately start cooling.
7. Emergency Action Plan: Heatstroke
If your Frenchie is showing severe panting, wobbliness, collapse, very red or very pale gums, or vomiting:
ACT FAST:
1. Move to air-conditioning immediately.
2. Wet their body with cool (not icy) water—especially chest, belly, paws.
3. Place them in front of a fan.
4. Offer small sips of cool water (not forced).
5. Go to the nearest vet straight away. Heatstroke can be fatal within minutes.
8. Summer Management Checklist
• ☐ Walk times planned early/late
• ☐ Cold room set up daily
• ☐ Cooling mat washed and ready
• ☐ Water bowls filled and refreshed
• ☐ Frenchie supervised during warm days
• ☐ No excitement/play during heat
• ☐ Car AC working before travel
• ☐ Grooming: keep coat brushed to help airflow
• ☐ BOAS check-up with a vet if they snore, struggle to breathe, or overheat easily
