Just a reminder for all you lovelies with dogs in this hot weather and some advice on how to keep them cool 💛
➡️Walk early in the morning or late at night when it’s cooler, dog paws are easily burnt in hot weather due to the pavement being scorching.
➡️Put some damp towels down so they can lay on them to help keep them cool or even a paddling pool. This will help them massively!
➡️Freeze a dog chew or create a dog ice lolly for them.
➡️Add ice cubes to their water bowls.
➡️Create a shaded area for them to sit in instead of the sun beaming on them.
Dogs really struggle in this heat especially having thick fur, this is why walking should be done early morning or held back when it’s cooler.
❗️HEATSTROKE is very common in this heat so keep an eye out for signs they might show, this could include;
-Dribbling
-excessive panting
-weakness
-collapsing
-vomiting or diarrhoea
