Some good information to know as puppy parents ๐พ๐พ
โNo dog ever died because they missed a walk but plenty died being walked in the heat.โ Never was there a truer sentence.
Lots of dogs out running around in the heat these past few hot days ๐ฅต and with more heat forecast please take care.
Donโt risk it!
If your dog gets overheated follow these steps โฆ
๐ฉโโ๏ธ Call the vet
๐ฅถ Begin active cooling before travel
๐ฆ Get them wet - all over
๐ณ Get them to a cool or shaded spot
โ DONT cover them in a wet towel
๐ชญIf at home put them by a fan
๐ฌ๏ธ For the journey get the air con on
โ ๏ธIf using a hose let it run cold before turning it on the dog
๐If using a cooling vest they MUST be kept cool and wet ๐ฆ
Dogs in hot foreign countries are used to the heat and are acclimatised to it, dogs in Scotland are not.
Remember โฆ. Get them wet and get them to the Vet!
