Heat stroke in pets can be life-threatening, here’s what every pet owner should know to keep their furry friends safe.
☀️🐾 Heat Stroke in Cats and Dogs, knowing the signs can save a life 🐾☀️
As temperatures rise, so does the risk of heat stroke in our beloved pets. Dogs and cats can’t cool themselves like we do, and even mild weather can become dangerous, especially for flat-faced breeds, senior pets, and those with thick coats.
🔍 Early warning signs to watch for:
- Excessive panting or drooling
- Bright red gums or tongue
- Restlessness or anxious pacing
- Rapid heart rate
🚨 Advanced symptoms include:
- Vomiting or diarrhoea
- Weakness or collapse
- Seizures or disorientation
- Loss of consciousness
🏡 Prevention tips:
- Always provide shade and fresh water
- Avoid walks during the hottest parts of the day
- Never leave pets in cars, even for a few minutes
- Use fans or cooling mats indoors
🐶🐱 If you suspect heat stroke, move your pet to a cool area, and contact us immediately.
Let’s keep our furry companions safe and cool this summer! 💧🐾
