Keeping Your Dog Cool in Hot Weather

[Janie Lerner]

We are now in the hottest time of the Summer. I have some tips to guide you to keep dogs safe. I also have a few interesting products and gadgets that could come in handy to keep your dogs cool in the hot weather. First of all, heat exaustion can sneak up on dogs as well as people. The first signs that indicate that a dog is at risk for heatstroke include:

• Panting

• Seeking a cool/shady spot

• Excessive salivation

• Enlarging tongue

• Red gums/lips

• Increasing heart rate

• Anxious or distressed behavior

• Staggering

If the dog’s high temperature is not relieved, more severe symptoms of heatstroke will become apparent:

• Very rapid heart rate

• Circulation shutdown

• Trembling/seizures/falling down

• Respiratory distress

• Vomit with blood

• Diarrhea with blood

• Coma
