✨ Photo Of The Week ✨

This week's ✨P.O.T.W✨ goes to Mabel, keeping cool at the field!

This week’s heat was almost unbearable, but as always, our priority was making sure every pup stayed safe, cool, and comfortable. 🐶☀️

During the hotter days we kept a close eye on all the dogs for any signs of overheating or heatstroke, making sure they had plenty of shade, water, and rest. Their safety always comes first, and we’d much rather have a slower, cooler day than risk a dog becoming unwell in the heat.

We’re very proud of how well all the dogs handled the warm weather this week and very, very grateful for a slightly cooler forecast ahead! 😂

We hope you all have a wonderful weekend! 🐾

I see these in every year and always think shall I try them so yesterday I went and purchased a few to trial this coming week. Soak them in cold water, rinse and place on the dogs like a bandana. I will let you know my review on Tuesday x

It’s HOT HOT HOT! Please avoid heat stroke by allowing your dogs a lazy day at home in a cool building. Take them a short walk early morning or late at night.

If your dog develops heat exhaustion; panting, hot to touch, distressed…

You should:

💧Get someone to call the local veterinary practice and tell them you're going to travel down with a heat stroke patient
💧Pour, hose or if possible immerse the pet in very cold water (this should obviously be done under constant supervision, ensuring the head is fully above water and immersion should not be attempted if the animal is too large, or you are unable to do so without hurting yourself)
💧NB: If using a hose pipe, make sure it has run through until cold, as they can often contain water that is extremely hot in the tubing initially
💧Do not drape in towels and leave them in situ. Keep the cold water flowing.
💧Move to a cool, shaded area
💧Prepare to transport to vets in a cold, air conditioned car

In studies they found that:

🌅International consensus from sports medicine organisations supports treating EHS with early rapid cooling by immersing the casualty in cold water.
🌅Ice-water immersion has been shown to be highly effective in exertional heat stroke, with a zero fatality rate in large case series of younger, fit patients.
🌅Hyperthermic individuals were cooled twice as fast by Cold Water Immersion as by passive recovery.
🌅No complications occurred during the treatment of three older patients with severe heat stroke were treated with cold‐water immersion.
🌅Cold water immersion (CWI) is the preferred cooling modality in EHS guidelines and the optimal method applicable to UK Service Personnel
🌅Studies suggest using either ice-water or cold-water immersion

The best intervention is PREVENTION, but if you find yourself with an animal with heat stroke, using cold water either by pouring, hosing or ideally (if safe) immersion then this may help reduce their temperature to safe levels while you transport to a veterinary practice.
