☀️🐶 HEATSTROKE IN DOGS CAN TURN SERIOUS FAST 🐶☀️
As the temperatures rise, it’s so important to keep a close eye on our dogs, especially during walks, playtime, and time outdoors.
Heatstroke can happen quicker than many people realise, and knowing the signs early could save your dog’s life.
Here are some common warning signs to watch for:
🐾 Heavy panting
🐾 Excessive drooling
🐾 Lethargy or weakness
🐾 Red gums
🐾 Vomiting or diarrhoea
🐾 Disorientation or collapse
Prevention is always best:
💧 Keep fresh water available
🌳 Walk during cooler parts of the day
🚫 Never leave dogs in cars
☂️ Provide shade and cool spaces
🐕 Know your dog’s limits in the heat
If you suspect heatstroke:
➡️ Move your dog somewhere cool
➡️ Use cool, not freezing, water or fans
➡️ Offer small sips of water
➡️ Contact your vet immediately
Please stay safe this summer and share this post to help spread awareness 💜
