Dehydration and Heatstroke in Dogs
I am sure that plenty of us are more than happy to see the sun make its appearance this week, after the dreadful floods and down-pouring of rain we have had so far this summer in the UK - but spare a thought for your pets, especially your dogs, as the temperature rises and the humidity soars.
Many pet owners have seen their furry friends start to moult and grow a new thicker coat as their bodies became confused with the unusually cold and wet weather of the last few month - and now the sudden turn in conditions has left a lot of dogs sporting a slightly thicker summer coat in the middle of a mini heat wave.
It is in your dogs best interest to try to keep exercise to a minimum throughout the heat of the day - and make the most of the light early mornings and late evenings when the sun is not so high in the sky.
