I'll be following this with the pack.
We'll be out before the lark!
☀️ HOT WEATHER WARNING FOR DOG OWNERS ☀️🐶
Please be careful walking your dogs in this heat. What might feel “not too bad” to us can actually be extremely dangerous for dogs, especially older dogs, puppies, flat faced breeds, overweight dogs and those with thick coats.
Dogs can’t cool themselves down like humans do and heatstroke can happen VERY quickly. By the time they are struggling, it can already be an emergency.
🐾 Early morning walks only
🐾 Shorter, slower walks
🐾 Plenty of water available
🐾 Shade and rest breaks
🐾 Avoid hot pavements (if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws)
🐾 Skip the walk completely if needed — honestly a missed walk is safer than risking heatstroke
At Go Lea’d I’ll be adapting walks depending on the temperature, including earlier walks, more shaded areas, slower paced walks and extra water breaks. The dogs’ safety always comes first 💜
Remember… dogs would rather miss one walk than end up seriously ill at the vets 🥵
Feel free to share this to help spread awareness during the hot weather 🌞🐕
