Heatstroke cases are all too common, and many dogs get heatstroke when exercised during high temperatures. 🌡️
Prevent heatstroke by getting to know when it's safe to take your dog outside, and please contact us immediately if you think your dog might have heatstroke!
🚨 28 °C and over - This is dangerous for all dogs, especially puppies and flat faced, large or obese dogs.
🔴 24-27°C - Be very careful, as most dogs will struggle in these temperatures, particularly larger, obese, flat-faced or very young dogs.
✋ 20-23°C - Heatstroke is still a risk at these temperatures for some dogs so take precautions, ensure hydrated and go steady
🟠 16-19°C - It's usually safe to take your dog out, but take extra care if you've got a large, obese or flat-faced dog.
✔️ 12-15°C – It’s safe to exercise your dog!
Heatstroke can be preventable. No dog will die from not going a walk, but may from going a walk in extreme heat.
If you think your animal is suffering from heatstroke, do not wait. Seek veterinary care immediately.
Throughout this month we'll be sharing advice on how to keep your dog cool this summer.
