🚨 Heatstroke Can Kill – But You Can Save a Life 🚨

If your dog overheats, every second counts. Before you rush them to the car – cool them first.

🐶💦 Cool First, Transport Second 💦🐶

A hot car journey can make things worse. Studies show that cooling your dog before moving them is critical to reduce damage and save lives.

✅ Immerse them in cool water, supervised (yes, cold water is safe – no more “lukewarm only” myths!)
✅ Extra points if you use cool water AND fans blowing over your dog's coat to boost evaporation
✅ Get air flowing – think fans, open windows, air con

⚠️ Only 22% of dogs were cooled before transport in past cases of heatstroke. Don’t wait. Act fast.

🧊 Rapid cooling = better recovery
🚗 Delayed cooling = higher risk
