โ๏ธ Hot weather can be dangerous for our canine companions.
Dogs can quickly overheat, even on days that donโt feel excessively hot to us. Heatstroke is a life-threatening emergency and can develop rapidly, especially in flat-faced breeds, older dogs, overweight pets, and those with underlying health conditions.
๐พ Help keep your dog safe by:
๐ง Providing plenty of fresh water
๐ณ Ensuring access to shade
๐ถ Walking during the cooler morning or evening hours
๐ Never leaving your dog in a parked car
โ ๏ธ Signs of heatstroke include excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, collapse, or difficulty breathing.
If you suspect your dog may be suffering from heatstroke, move them to a cool area and contact your veterinary practice immediately.
Stay safe and enjoy the sunshine responsibly. โค๏ธ๐ถ
