As a vet, I often tend to see heatstroke cases on these unseasonably warm Spring days, when we're keen to get out on long walks with our dogs, but they haven't necessarily had time to adjust to the warmer weather.

Please take a minute to familiarise yourself with what temperatures are safe for your dog☀️🐶

Every year as vets we treat hundreds of heat stroke cases and, heartbreakingly, some end in tragedy. Many are unfortunately a result of owners not knowing the dangers of exercising their dogs in temperatures to hot for them to handle.

Heat-related illnesses are almost always preventable. DONT TAKE THE RISK and make sure your pet isn’t overheating in the sun.

If you think your dog may be suffering from heat stroke, contact your vet immediately or, if out-of-hours, find your nearest emergency vet.

Don't forget we offer a specialised self study course for brachycephalic breeds. Brachycephalic breeds may struggle with self regulation in temperatures that are slightly lower than the 20'C to 23'C on the chart below. DONT TAKE THE RISK. 🐾
