Like in humans, drugs like SSRI's can cause dog to over heat to in these warmer weather spells. If your dog is on medication like this:
🐕 Walk earlier/later in the day, avoiding any longer exposure to the heat.
🐕 Provide them with cool areas to sit inside, for instance, if they don't mind a fan, this is good to dissipate the heat away from the dog.
🐕 Lots of water available - dogs will pant, and with panting, they loose water vapour quickly dehydrating them, so make sure water is always available
What is your dog's favourite way to cool down?
