Brachycephalic breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Shih Tzus are especially prone to heat stress during summer 🌡️.
Their short muzzles make cooling through panting difficult, risking overheating. Keep them cool, well-hydrated, and avoid intense play on hot days. Walk early morning or evening, take shorter walks, and use a harness instead of a collar to reduce airway pressure. Providing a cooling pad or indoor activities helps maintain comfort. Regular vet visits ensure their breathing stays healthy. 🐶💧
At Canine Country Club, we educate our staff about this and take every precautions can to make your flat faced pups as comfy as possible! 🥰
