Did you know dogs don’t sweat like we do?! Their sweat comes from their pads which means it’s a lot trickier to cool down in the hotter months.
THINGS TO HELP COOL YOUR DOG DOWN: 🥶
- Frozen treats – give your pup frozen veg as treats ( you can do this using an ice tray and adding veg into water & freezing ) PERFECT FOR A CHILL IN THE GARDEN
- Shade – make sure there is always shade for your dog to chill out. That and a cool bowl of water! – NOT ICE COLD THOUGH! as this can send your pup into shock
- Damp towels – leave a damp towel down for your dog to lie on. Or you can purchase cooling mats
Be aware of the signs of heat stroke:
Things to look out for-
- Excessive dribbling/panting
- Bright red gums
- Confusion & unsteadiness
