☠️ STAY WATER SAFE - ANYONE CAN DROWN, NO ONE SHOULD

⚠️ As the temperatures rise don't be tempted to take risks near open water:

🥶 It's often extremely cold and people can get into difficulty and drown. Cold water shock can kill in less than a minute.

🌊 There may be hidden currents.

↕️ It's hard to judge the depth of open water.

😨 There are no lifeguards.

✅ Our top tips to stay safe:

🚸 Supervise children closely near water.

🏊 Never jump into open water.

🏃‍♀️ Take care when walking or running near open water.

🛑 Look for warning or guidance signs.

📞 Call 999 immediately if you see someone in trouble.

Snake bites are rare but could be life-threatening and should be treated by your vet immediately ⏱️

There are three types of snakes in the UK: grass snakes, smooth snakes and adders. 🐍 The adder is the only venomous species but tends to keep to themselves and don't bite unless they are scared.

Adder bites can happen Feb-Oct but are more common between Jun-Aug. They are most commonly found in long grass, woodland, moorland, and along the coast (sand dunes/coastal paths). Avoid areas well known for adders in the summer months, or when in those areas, keep your dog on the path and on a lead. If you're unfamiliar with the area, do some research to find out if there are any adder hot spots before walking your dog ⚠️

We've all heard the phrase DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS! And most of us are sensible enough not to leave them in hot cars or rooms as we know temperatures SOAR in the heat. BUT, we still see people exercising their dogs? 🥵

Well did you know that in fact, "exercise triggered over 10x as many canine heat-related illness events as hot cars, and caused 8x as many deaths". With a huge 74.2% of heatstroke reported to have occurred AFTER EXERCISE. Exposure to hot weather alone (sitting in the heat) triggered 12.9% and travel or confinement in a hot car triggered only 5.2%.

Let's not be ignorant pet owners. You wouldn't leave a dog in a hot car, so do not walk them in the heat! There are multiple stimulating exercises you can do at home to keep your dog mentally entertained, or walk early in the morning or late at night when it is cool.

KNOW THE FACTS

Here is what to look out for:

🔥 Elevated body temperature of 40.c+
🔥 Heavy panting
🔥 Agitation/whining/barking
🔥 Staggering/weakness/collapse
🔥 Increased heart rate
🔥 RED gums
🔥 Excessive thirst
🔥 Seizures

RAPID COOLING SAVES LIVES ⚠️
The problem is not only the temperature the dog reaches during heat stroke, but the time the dog spends at that peak temperature. COOLING IS KEY using whatever resources are available. Active cooling in the first instance can lower mortality rate from 49% to 19%!

Best methods of cooling: water & air!
💧Water combined with air movement – running water, soaking or immersion. Tap water is ideal for cooling dogs, it’s doesn’t have to be ‘tepid’ it just needs to be water combined with air movement (evaporation) to disperse heat and you have the most effective cooling mechanism.
🧊 Ice packs accelerate cooling alongside evaporative cooling and cold water but useless instead of. Do not apply directly to the skin.
💧Allow small amounts to drink and clear froth away from the mouth to facilitate the airways.

Once cooling has been established, head to the nearest vet whilst maintaining air flow (windows down or air con on in the car). Even if your dog appears clinically well after cooling, it is still recommended that your dog receives a full examination as damage can be delayed.

‼️It was common knowledge that only tepid water should be used to cool in cases of heat stroke however, more recent investigations have shown this method to be outdated. "The concept that ice or cold water causes vasoconstriction and slows the cooling process has never been scientifically validated, and in that singular study, that claim was completely refuted. Ice or cold water likely does cause vasoconstriction, but since dogs really doesn’t use radiation from their skin to cool down much anyway, vasoconstriction doesn’t take anything away that they needed for cooling in the first place. Also, any effect of vasoconstriction is likely far outweighed by the cooling effect of the ice or cold water. The life-threatening element of heat injury is prolonged body heat. You need to cool the body to a safe temperature (under 104 F) as fast as possible and the cooler the water temp, the faster they cool." Written by Dr Janice Baker.‼️

WET TOWELS should be avoided. Wet towels limit air movement making evaporative cooling less effective. Do not apply a ‘cool coat’ to a hot dog.

Let's talk about SWEAT!

The beautiful Rosie (a dog I use to care for and walk) went out for a short, morning walk with lots of shade...read more to find out why????

Dogs are very DIFFERENT from humans - not only do they regulate their temperature differently but they also CANNOT take off their fur coat or pop shoes on their feet.

Today's post is a sweaty subject, but to start off here's a quick advice list...It could help save a dog's life!

Long hot car journeys ❌
Leaving your dog in the car unsupervised ❌
Midday walks ❌

Early morning walks ✔
Fresh water ✔
Lots of shade ✔
Cool inside areas ✔
Late evening walks ✔

And actually it's even ok to miss a walk!

Ok so sweat, what is it? and why does it happen? 😧

So a little about us humans...

When our bodies temperature builds up we perspire, in some humans this is very obvious. Everyone perspires, however some more so than others.

Sweating is one of the ways that our body regulates its temperature, in which the sweat glands are distributed over most of our body's surface. When our internal temperature rises the sweat provides a slick of moisture over the skin, which then begins to evaporate. As a fluid evaporates it cools, and in that way the sweat helps to lower our body temperature by essentially wrapping us in a nice cool layer.

IMPORTANT - DOGS ARE DIFFERENT! 🐕

A dog's skin is quite different and most of the dog's sweat glands are located around its foot pads.

Rather than relying upon sweat, the dog mainly relies on panting to cool down. The moisture on the tongue evaporates and the heavy breathing also allows the moist lining of their lungs to serve as a surface from which moisture can evaporate. This successfully helps the the dog to manage a significant cooling of his/her body temperature.

HOWEVER...

When put in EXTREME circumstances this mechanism can be significantly inhibited (have you ever tried to breath in a hot car with the windows closed, or panted to catch your breath after a run?!)

A dog also will try to cool off by dilating or expanding blood vessels in their face and ears.

BUT ALSO...

This mechanism only works best if it's not too hot outside and helps to cool the dog's blood by causing it to flow closer to the surface of the skin. Add a fur coat and bare paws and you really are putting your dog in a vulnerable position.

So please, please REMEMBER just because YOU can cope in the heat doesn't mean your dog can!

If you are out walking your dog in the mid day sun today then this makes you a Grade A C**T!

Do yourself a favor, take your nice protective shoes and socks off, and stand on the tarmac... it won't be nice.

Also, happy Friday everyone, stay safe, keep yourselves and dogs hydrated. Your dog won't die if it misses their daily walk.

🔆⚠️There is never an excuse for leaving a dog in a hot car. 'Not long' is still too long and it can be fatal. Even if the weather doesn't feel that warm, a car can become as hot as an oven! so call 999 if you see a dog in distress.

⚠️⚠️⚠️Never leave your dog in a parked car on a warm day. Dogs mainly control their body temperature by panting. When a dog is very hot, panting isn't enough to stop them from overheating. ... Dogs left alone in a car on a hot day can quickly become dehydrated, develop heatstroke or even die.⚠️⚠️⚠️
