It’s almost summer! As temperatures rise, so do the risks of heat-related hazards for your pets.

Heat Stroke

When we get hot, our bodies cool down by sweating. Dogs can’t sweat, so to cool down they pant. Watch for excessive panting in your dog when the weather gets hot, as that is usually the first sign that your dog is at risk for heat stroke. To cool down your dog fast, soak them with some water. Ice packs are a good idea to keep handy! Dogs are overheating if their temperature rises above 103° F. If you think your dog is in danger, contact a veterinarian immediately.

Also be aware of hot asphalt on your dogs feet as you stroll about town! Sidewalks, roadways, and parking lots can reach extremely high temperatures that can scald the pads of your dog’s feet.
