What to Do If Your Dog Shows Signs of Heat Stroke 🐾☀️
When temperatures soar, our furry friends are especially vulnerable. Heat stroke in dogs can be life-threatening, and swift action can save lives.
Know the Warning Signs
Look out for:
- Excessive panting or drooling
- Bright red or pale gums
- Lethargy or collapse
- Vomiting or diarrhea
- Confusion or unsteadiness
If You Suspect Heat Stroke:
1. Move your dog immediately to a shaded, cool area.
2. Start cooling them down gradually—use cool (not cold) water on their body, especially paws, belly, and armpits.
3. Offer small sips of water if they’re alert and able to drink.
4. Call your vet right away—even if they seem to improve, they need professional care.
Prevention is key:
Avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, never leave dogs in parked cars, and always provide fresh water and a cool resting spot.
Let’s keep tails wagging safely all summer long! 🌞🐶
