!!HEAT STROKE!!

Heat stroke in dogs occurs when they lose their ability to regulate their body temperature!

!!MOST AT RISK!!
- heavy coated breeds
- overweight dogs
- Brachycephalic breeds such as pugs, French bulldogs etc..

Dogs release heat through panting, if the environment is too hot and and can't release the heat quick enough, panting becomes ineffective.

!!KNOW THE SIGNS!!
- Excessive panting
- Anxiety
- very red gums
- salivating
- rapid heartbeat
- lethargic
- severe cases - collapse, convulsion, shock

!!ACT FAST!!
- remove dog from heat
- immerse dog in tepid water - DO NOT USE ICE OR COLD WATER
- Continue to cool dog until breathing returns to normal, SEEK VETERINARY ADVICE!

Doggy dangers!

Fruit! Pits in apricots, cherries, plums and peaches contain cyanide!

Not only are these stones poisonous when crushed but they are also a choking hazard.

By law when a dog is in a public space, you must put a collar on them with a tag stating your name and address or you could face upto £2000 in a fine!

I would highly recommend this collar as it is an high quality, robust collar and it's also great value for money.
