Dogs' problems in the summer are endless, but one of the most important problems is heat shock!

Thermal shock: a serious risk!

Heat shock is an emergency that you must act on as soon as you notice it, because it can lead to the dog’s death or serious complications such as convulsions and kidney failure.

Dogs only sweat a very small amount between their toes and they cannot tolerate high temperatures like humans!

Dogs rely onpanting to exchange hot and cold air. If the temperature around the dog is high, panting will not be enough to regulate its temperature.

Causes of heat shock in dogs

1. You leave it in the car in the hot weather and go!

2. Hard training in hot and humid weather!

3. The dog is from the ( Brachycephalic ) breeds such as Bulldog, Pug, Pekingese.

4. If the dog suffers from heart or lung diseases that affect his breathing

5. The dog is muzzled while you dry his hair with a hair dryer.

6. It sits on asphalt or concrete for a long time.

7. He sits out of the shade and without water in the hot weather.

The dog shows clear symptoms such as:

2. Take his temperature every 10 minutes to make sure his condition is not deteriorating!

3. Spray him with cold water and start wiping his body with it. You can also make him stand in front of a fan while he is wet.

4. If the temperature reaches this high level or any symptoms appear such as spasms or swelling in the neck and you do not know what to do or how to make the dog improve, take him to a veterinarian immediately!

Note: This cooling process takes place until its temperature drops below 39°C, and then we dry the dog!
