🥵Heatstroke🥵
https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16HbCQPgGM/

Summer is in full swing across South Africa, with soaring temperatures and long, sunny 🌞 days.

While this weather is perfect for braais, swimming, and spending time outdoors, it can be dangerous for our dogs 🐕.

Hot weather puts dogs at risk of heatstroke, especially during exercise or prolonged time outdoors. Sometimes their bodies simply cannot cope with excessive heat.

➡️What is heatstroke?
Heatstroke occurs when the body is no longer able to regulate its temperature.

➡️Warning signs to watch for include:
• Excessive, uncontrolled panting
• Heavy drooling
• Pale, very red, or blue gums
• Difficulty breathing or noisy panting
• Muscle tremors
• Vomiting or diarrhoea
• Weakness, dizziness, or collapse

➡️What should you do?
Act immediately. Untreated heatstroke can lead to organ failure and death. Move your dog to a cool area, use a fan or air conditioning, and wet them with cool (not icy) water, focusing on the belly, armpits, and neck. Get them to a vet urgently.

➡️How to prevent heatstroke:
• Always provide fresh, cool water
• Avoid exercise during the hottest part of the day
• Ensure access to shade
• Never leave dogs in cars or poorly ventilated spaces

We love sharing our lives with our dogs. Keeping them safe in hot weather is part of responsible care.🐾
