If a dog is struggling hot, he can show these signs:

  • Deep breathing
  • Their language may be pink or red
  • They keep tongues out of their mouth, as if they are tired
  • They stretch more than usual and breathe heavily
  • They may even have vomit
  • They can raise their feet if the ground is too hot for their feet

Things to Remember:

  • Like humans, dogs lose appetite during hot weather and may eat less. This is not automatically cause to worry, unless your dog is eating too much or vomiting after food.
  • Darker color dogs absorb more sunlight, so consider that if your dog has such skin color, he will feel more heat
  • Brighter color dogs are more likely to have sunburn
  • Never lock a dog inside the car, regardless of weather.

How can you help your dog:

  • Make sure your dog always has access to fresh water
  • Avoid walking with dogs during midday, when it is also expected to be the hottest weather
  • Even when you shoot the dog for a walk, take water with you
  • If your dog is very hot, place it in a cooler place - somewhere in the shade
  • Avoid walking on the surface to absorb more sunlight because you can hurt the canine
