Hot Weather Safety for Dogs

Hot weather can be dangerous for dogs, especially certain breeds and those with health issues. Learn the risk levels by temperature, recognize heatstroke symptoms like heavy panting and vomiting, and act fast: cool your dog, transport, then contact your vet. Prevention includes shade, water, and avoiding midday walks.

Immediate action—cooling your dog, transporting them safely, and contacting your vet—is critical.

Prevent heatstroke by providing constant water, shade, well-ventilated spaces, and avoiding walks during the hottest hours.
