BE HEAT SAVVY!
Follow up-to-date info as our approach to heat related illness in dogs has changed…
We DO NOT COVER IN WET TOWELS
We DO USE COLD WATER
We DO USE ICY WATER FOR THE SEVERELY AFFECTED (collapsed, fitting, +/- bloody vomit/diarrhoea)
Cold water for the mild to moderately affected will not send them into shock. And for those severely affected, icy water will not shock them either as heatstroke is heat shock!
The old information is still doing the rounds, I have been updating any of my learning materials to ensure you are kept up dated ❤️
