Tips for Keeping Your Pet Safe in the Heat
Heat exhaustion can occur in dogs when their body temperature is above 39.4C. Here are some tips on how to notice when your pet is hot and uncomfortable.
- Excessive panting or drooling is a key way to identify your dog is too hot. To combat this, try to avoid walks between 11am and 4pm.
- If your dog seems less responsive to commands or does not respond to his or her name more than usual, move the pup to a cooler area.
- Dogs develop a fever in the same way humans do when they have heat stroke, use a rectal thermometer to check the canines temperature isn't in the danger zone.
- Some dogs experience a lack of coordination in the heat and fall over, avoid strenous exercise around midday when it is likely to be the hottest and make sure they have access to plenty of water.
- Dogs eyes often glaze over when they are too hot, a key way to avoid this is by trimming its coat to help it cope with warmer temperatures.
If your dog is experiencing one or several of these symptoms, you should seek medical advice from a vet.
