As temperatures rise on warm spring days or during hot summer heatwaves your dog is more at risk of developing heatstroke (also known as heat-related illness, heat exhaustion, sunstroke or hyperthermia), but what causes it, how can you prevent it and what can you do to help treat an overheated dog?
Tips on how to help a dog with heatstroke:
Stop them exercising, move them out of the heat and into the shade
Call a vet for advice
Lay them down on a cool floor
Offer them small amounts of water to drink
Carefully pour water over the dog’s body, or sponge them if water is limited. Particularly focus on their neck, tummy and inner thighs. Ideally continue to do this until their breathing returns to normal. Make sure the dog doesn’t inhale any water while you’re trying to cool them down
Fan them with cool air or put them in an air-conditioned room or car if possible.
