Heat Safety for Dogs
Just thought I’d throw this out here again, even though it’s doing the rounds on social media… because I’m still seeing dogs being walked in the heat, even at peak times.
Two dogs from Bakewell have died this week due to heat stroke.
That’s not a scare tactic—it’s reality.
Please be sensible. Walk your dogs early. I was out the door by 645 am this morning and home by 8.30. Ours will be inside for the rest of the day, with just a few short toilet breaks.
If you’re worried about boredom, there are plenty of ways to provide enrichment indoors.
I’ll be doing a bit of training, brain games and some food puzzles to help keep minds calm and engaged. I might even share what I do 😉
Don’t risk it. They’d always rather skip a walk than collapse from heat exhaustion.
Please share this post or story it if you can—let’s see if we can educate the masses a little more. The more people who see it, the more dogs we might save.
