🥵🐕🐾
During this hot weather, please keep your dogs exercise to a sensible minimum (or wait until the evening for their walk) so they do not overheat. Wearing a fur coat outside in this weather is not fun! Your dog will not die from missing a walk but they could by having one!
Signs of overheating can include:
- Heavy panting
- Excessive drooling
- Increased body temperature (a normal dogs temperature is 38-39 degrees. If their temperature rises to 41 degrees this can cause fitting and result in brain damage, a temperature over 42 degrees can prove fatal)
- Wobbly, drunken movement
- Reduction (or loss) of urine production
If your dog is showing these signs, make sure they are moved to a cooler area quickly and have access to water. Please call us immediately if you are concerned - 01491 651379/01235 814991.
