☀️☀️Did someone say heatwave!!!☀️☀️
Whilst we all bask in the summer heat, it’s important that we remember to keep our pets cool.
Dog’s regulate their body temperature by panting & sweating through their paws & nose. Unlike humans, they can’t sweat through the body, so can quickly overheat & develop heatstroke!
Heatstroke can develop rapidly & can be fatal within as little as 15 minutes! Providing shaded areas, paddling pools, ice in water bowls, fans, cooling mats or damp towels, restricting exercise & avoiding unnecessary car travel will all help to prevent this.
As tempting as it might be, NEVER leave your pooch unattended in a hot car, even just for a few minutes!
