Understanding Heatstroke in Pets

Unlike humans, pets don’t regulate their body temperature by sweating. Dogs primarily cool themselves through panting and their paw pads, while cats often seek shade and rest. But in high temperatures, their natural cooling methods may not be enough.

Signs of heatstroke include:

Excessive panting or drooling
Bright red or pale gums
Lethargy or disorientation
Vomiting or diarrhea
Collapse or loss of consciousness

If you suspect heatstroke, move the animal to a shaded or cool area immediately. Offer fresh, cool water and contact a veterinarian as soon as possible. Fast intervention is critical.
