🔥 Hot weather = extra care for your dog!

🚶‍♂️ Limit exercise
Walk early morning or late evening
Avoid the midday heat
Use a cool, wet towel + offer fresh water with Fresh-K9 💧

🦶 Check the ground
Do the 5-second test … if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws 🐾
Stick to grass 🌿 or use dog boots 🥾

🚗 Be mindful when travelling
At just 24°C (75°F), a car can hit 38°C (100°F) in 10 minutes 😱
Never leave your dog alone in the car, even for a “quick” errand. Air condition fails.

🥤 Hydration is key
Plenty of water 💦 + add a tasty electrolyte boost for extra support
Fresh-K9 can help keep hydration levels up!

⚠️ Know the signs of heat stroke
Panting 😮‍💨
Fatigue 😴
Tremors 😬
Red gums 😳
Excessive drooling 🤤
Wobbly movement 🚶‍♀️❌

🚫 Don’t believe the myth:
You can use ice or cold water to cool your dog down
Cool them fast with whatever you have!

📞 If in doubt, call your vet immediately!

🐕HEATSTROKE IN DOGS🐕

We've been banging on about this for years! HEATSTROKE is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY! Fortunately, now more and more professionals are communicating the same message!

Whilst the need for rapid cooling with COLD water (1-15°C) has been recognised for decades in equestrian and human medicine, the dog world has lagged behind, and very poor information still circulates. e.g. "cool the paws", "cover with wet towels", "avoid cold water as it will cause shock"

THE KEY MESSAGES ARE............

💦"WET THEN VET"💦

💦"COLD WATER IMMERSION" (1-15°C)💦
(If you can't immerse, keep pouring ANYTHING COLD over the dog - hose, soft drinks, milk, etc)

💦Dogs die of heatstroke because they were NOT COOLED QUICKLY ENOUGH, NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE COOLED!

♨️RISK FACTORS FOR HEATSTROKE IN HOT WEATHER♨️

♨️Large dogs
♨️DOUBLE-COATED breeds
♨️Brachycephalic breeds
♨️June, July, August (UK)
♨️Exercise, being outdoors, left in cars

EDIT: - If a dog is PANTING, it's struggling to control its body TEMPERATURE! 💦HOSE IT TO COOL IT DOWN!💦

❤️PLEASE SHARE - Spread accurate information; potentially save a dogs life!❤️
