Overheating in Dogs 🐕🥵

As temperatures rise in summer ☀️, pets can become easily overheated outdoors or in vehicles. If your dog's body temperature gets to 109°F (42.7°C) or higher, heatstroke is the result. 🌡️ But remember that a temperature over 103°F (39. 4°C) is already cause for concern. 🆘

Any dog can be affected, but some dogs are at greater risk of heatstroke than others, including brachycephalic breeds (dogs with flat faces and short noses), seniors, puppies and dogs with chronic health conditions. Here are the symptoms of overheating in dogs. 🐶🚨

As temperatures rise, it's crucial to keep our furry friends safe from the heat. Pets can easily become overheated, which can lead to serious health issues.

Be mindful of outdoor temperatures, as pavement and other surfaces can become significantly hotter and burn their sensitive paws. By taking these simple steps, you can help prevent heat-related emergencies and keep your pets happy and healthy all summer long. Stay vigilant and keep an eye on your pets for any signs of heat stress!
