REMINDER FOR OUR DOGS IN HOT WEATHER!!! 🥵☀️
Are you mindful of your pup in the heat?
We’ve had some pretty hot days recently so please make sure to think about the following:
- Take your pup out early/late in the day
- Pavement check! if you can’t stand bare foot, neither can they! I’ve seen too many dogs with seared paw pads.
- DO NOT give water to a panting dog, this is super dangerous and can kill your dog. Put water on their groin area and wait until they’ve cooled before offering water.
- Train indoors, look up a YouTube video if you have to.. there are thousands of things you can do with your dog that isn’t a walk around the neighbourhood.
- Leave them at home!! They don’t need to come to a crowded hot market with you, or sit in direct sunlight at the beach (especially tying your dog to a pole while you go swim, this is dangerous for several reasons).
- Watch for signs of heat stroke.. Excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, and in more obvious cases collapse.
- If your dog is pulling more or darting for the shade, GO!!!!!!
You have a dog because you love them, show them that 🙌🏼
