🌡🐾☀️ HEAT STROKE ☀️🐾🌡
With these hotter temperatures it is important to remember that heat stroke can be fatal.
Signs of heatstroke include:
- Heavy panting
- Dark gums or tongue
- Excessive salivation
- Weakness, lethargy, collapse
- Seizures
❌️ Please do not walk dogs in the middle of the day. Only go for walks in the cooler mornings or late evenings. Avoid pavements - if the ground is too hot to touch for a few seconds, it is too hot for paws ❌️
Remember that it isn't just dogs that can suffer from heat stroke - this applies to cats and small furries too!
Ensure fresh drinking water and shaded, cool areas are avaliable for your pet.
Provide cool mats and frozen treats for mental stimulation. Photo below is of gorgeous Bernie enjoying a frozen Lick-E-Lix!
