I know many of us have seen countless posts about dogs and hot weather over the years, but I will keep sharing. Why? Because despite all the warnings, I still see dogs being walked during the hottest parts of the day.
Heatstroke is not something that only happens to "other people's dogs", it can develop quickly and become life-threatening.
If you're unsure whether it's safe, skip the walk! Enrichment games, training sessions, sniffing activities and indoor play can provide plenty of mental stimulation until temperatures drop.
For trusted information on heatstroke prevention, symptoms and emergency first aid, I highly recommend:

🐾 The Kennel Club's Heatstroke Advice
Please don't scroll past thinking this reminder isn't for you... Share it, it could save a dog's life❤️
