Honestly this couldn’t be more important, I’ve spent heartbreaking hours trying and failing to save the life of young healthy dogs who were over-exercised on mid-to-high-20s (C) afternoons. Heatstroke can so easily kill. Please be careful.
Mollie’s not had a walk today. She’s been pestering us to throw her ball for her, but it’s been far too hot for her to be running around. Sad face all evening, but she’ll live.
A panting brachycephalic (short-nosed) dog is about two steps away from life-threatening heatstroke.
Your Pug pants constantly between May and September? You might want to think on that.
Thank you for sharing, I’ve been trying to best navigate this for my dog to give him what he needs and not cause harm… since he’s older now and on an ssri ❤️
