Texas Heat is No Joke — Especially for Your Pup! 🔥🌡️
Let’s talk survival mode for your four-legged friends.
You know it. We know it. Your dog definitely knows it: Texas summer is BRUTAL. And while you might just sweat a little more and crank up the AC, your dog’s built-in fur coat and inability to sweat puts them in real danger — especially our beloved flat-faced breeds like Frenchies, Bostons, Bulldogs, and Pugs.
☠️ Heatstroke can happen FAST. 10–15 minutes is all it takes.
But here’s how you can outsmart the sun:
✅ Walk early or late – If the pavement’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws.
✅ Shade & water, always – No excuses. Always bring water.
✅ Frozen treats or DIY pupsicles – Keep cool AND entertained.
✅ No car rides unless the AC’s on – Even a 5-minute stop can be fatal.
✅ Avoid muzzles that restrict panting – Especially for brachys.
🧠 Pro Tip: Brachycephalic breeds are on hard mode. Their airways are short, their cooling system inefficient. They don’t "just get tired"—they crash, and fast. If your squishy-faced companion is panting heavily, wobbling, or has dark red gums, that’s an emergency.
