Sad story

02/06/2023

Please share this post, it explains why hot days can be fatal to dogs!
When you read or hear about the bulldog-type, short-nosed (brachycephalic) breeds having more trouble with the heat, you may wonder why. On a good day, with moderate temperatures, they have a much more difficult time moving air to their lungs because of their anatomy.
This picture shows the back of the mouth of a long-nosed dog on the left (a collie-retriever cross) and a short-nosed dog on the right (a pug). You can see that this area is compressed and limited in the pug. Pugs, Bulldogs (all types), Bostons, Boxers, Shih Tzus, Lhasa Apsos, Pekingese, etc. all have this anatomy. The space is even more limited when they are overweight or obese.
When it is hot, dogs can only cool themselves by panting. Excessive panting leads to swelling in the back of the mouth and throat. This swelling makes it even more difficult for the brachycephalic breeds to breath and they can suffocate.
In fact, any dog can succumb to heat stroke or compromised breathing so PLEASE DO NOT exercise or leave dogs outside in the sun or in cars when it is hot. They trust us to make good choices and take care of them! A good reminder with the summer months upon us.

Keep this in mind with the summer months coming. See something, say something.

If they can’t be part of your family don’t have one. FYI It’s illegal to leave a dog outside in the Cold. If you see something say something.

I came out of Hannaford yesterday to find two dogs in this truck with just the windows cracked. The truck was parked in full sun and not running. IT was 94 degrees outside. After waiting 15 minutes I called the sheriffs and they were there under 5 minutes. Why why why do people do this ?!?!?

See something say something. Stop, wait, get the plate and make the call. If not it won’t be the first or last time they do this.

Thank you to the men and women in Blue 🫶🏻

There aren’t bad dogs only bad owners.
