Early warning signs your dog is getting too hot

Watch for:

* Heavy or unusually fast panting
* Panting that doesn’t settle after resting
* Excessive drooling or very thick/sticky saliva
* Bright red gums or tongue
* Restlessness / unable to settle
* Constantly seeking cool floors or shade
* Drinking much more than normal
* Slowing down on walks
* Lagging behind or stopping frequently
* Rapid heartbeat
* Warm ears and paws

Some dogs also become:

* unusually clingy,
* irritable,
* glassy-eyed,
* or quieter than normal.

⸻

More serious danger signs

These mean the dog needs urgent cooling and veterinary help:

* Vomiting or diarrhea
* Weakness or wobbling
* Confusion/disorientation
* Collapse
* Trouble breathing
* Pale, blue, or purple gums
* Unresponsiveness
* Seizures

Heatstroke can become life-threatening very quickly.

⸻

Dogs at higher risk

Extra careful with:

* flat-faced breeds (French Bulldogs, Pugs, Bulldogs),
* older dogs,
* overweight dogs,
* thick-coated breeds,
* puppies,
* dogs with heart or breathing problems.

Dark-coated dogs can also absorb heat faster in direct sun.

How to cool a dog safely

If you think she’s overheating:

* move her somewhere shaded/cool immediately,
* offer cool (not ice-cold) water,
* wet paws, belly, chest, and inner thighs with cool water,
* use a fan if possible,
* stop exercise completely.

Avoid:

* ice baths,
* covering with wet towels for long periods,
* forcing lots of water quickly.

If symptoms are moderate or severe, contact a vet urgently even if she seems to improve — overheating can keep causing internal damage afterward.

Little home visit today. I have brought along Ginny to see Coco in her environment as it is too hot to take them out in these kind of weathers, so they are having a nice play in the garden with lots of water and lots of rest. I am extremely proud of Ginny in this moment as she can be a little unsettled sometimes with certain dogs. She just likes her own space at times (which we all do, so i can’t blame her🤣) and she is doing so well coming into Coco’s home🥰

Good morning everyone,

Just a quick reminder to keep your dogs safe during these hot sunny spells. It has been scorching hot these past couple of days with more days to come with even higher temperatures. There has been UV Rays of 5-7 which is even dangerous for us.

Please DO NOT walk your dogs from any time after 7am. It is going to be hot all day with temperatures of 32 degrees.

Make sure your dogs get plenty of water, keep them in rooms with hard flooring, not with carpets, as this causes temperatures to rise. Give them fans, keep curtain drawn, place wet towels on the floor, give them a pool etc.

We must take weathers like this into massive consideration when owning or taking care of a dog, as they are at a much higher risk of heat stroke. I also absolutely beg you to please stop walking dogs on any sort of concrete, slabs, and gravel as you are causing them so much pain from how hot they can get.

Also, dogs have sweat glands, specifically merocrine glands, in their paw pads. This type of sweat gland is similar to the sweat glands found in humans. Sweating through the paw pads helps dogs cool down, especially when they are hot. So if you walk them on hot pavements, imagine how much you are not allowing them to cool down and causing them to suffer!

If your dog does not do their business in the garden, then keep them shaded at all times snd make sure you have plenty of water on you. Please do not over exercise them and over stimulate.

Keep safe and happy weekend♥️
