As the weather warms up, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with what temperatures are safe for your dog.
Every year our vets 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 too hot for them to handle.
Heat-related illnesses are almost always preventable. DON’T 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.
