Any pet that cannot cool himself off is at risk for heatstroke.

Following these guidelines can help prevent serious

problems.
Keep pets with predisposing conditions like heart disease, obesity, older age, or breathing problems cool and in the
shade. Even normal activity for these pets can be harmful.
Provide access to water at all times.
Do not leave your pet in a hot parked car even if youre in the shade or will only be gone a short time. The
temperature inside a parked car can quickly reach up to140 degrees.
Make sure outside dogs have access to shade.
On a hot day, restrict exercise and dont take your dog jogging with you. Too much exercise when the weather is
very hot can be dangerous.
Do not muzzle your dog.
Avoid places like the beach and especially concrete or asphalt areas where heat is reflected and there is no access
to shade.
Wetting down your dog with cool water or allowing him to swim can help maintain a normal body temperature.
Move your dog to a cool area of the house. Air conditioning is one of the best ways to keep a dog cool, but is not
always dependable. To provide a cooler environment, freeze water in soda bottles, or place ice and a small amount
of water in several resealable food storage bags, and then wrap them in a towel or tube sock. Place them on the floor
for the dog to lie on.
To protect your dog from a heat stroke, take the time to learn the signs and symptoms of heat stroke in dogs. Always
ensure that your dog has access to water and shade in hot temperatures, and never leave your your dog in a hot car
even if it is only for a few minutes.

As temperatures rise, dogs become more vulnerable to heat stress. Maintaining a comfortable
environment for your dog is important, so provide plenty of cool, fresh water to help keep your
dog cool throughout the summer.
If you go on a journey, remember to take water along and also a towel. A wet towel is an
effective way of cooling down your dog. Avoid travelling during the hottest times of the day.
NEVER, ever leave your dog in the car. Confinement in a car or any other poorly ventilated
enclosure can be fatal, and will leave owners liable to prosecution. One study reports that when
the outside temperature is 26C /78F, the inside of a car will reach 32C /90F in five minutes,
and 43C /110F in 25 minutes! Even a few minutes is too long, so think about your journey and
avoid taking your dog at all if the weather is hot.
Avoid exercising your dog too much during hot days or warm, humid nights. The best time to
exercise is either early in the morning before sunrise, or late in the evening after the sun goes
down. This is particularly important for dogs with thick, heavy coats, do not take them out in the
middle of the day. Avoid vigorous exercise for all dogs in hot weather. In warm environments
with exercise your dog could develop heat stroke in as little as 30 minutes.
Never leave your dog in direct sunlight outside.
Think twice about visiting busy, outdoor events on hot summer days- See more at:
