Summer season is both pleasant and boring at the same time. Pleasant for you to enjoy the sun, and probably a vacation to the beach, but for your pooch, it is a deadly weather. Those of you have dogs or are going to have one soon, an alarm of safety must be ringing in your heads. Don&#8217;t worry a bit about heat strokes. If you are a true parent and you love your dog you will know exactly what to do. If you don&#8217;t, here are a few heads up for all the dog owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Firstly, what exactly is a heat stroke?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a situation in which a dog&#8217;s internal body temperature rises which is not suitable. Dogs do not have sweat glands or cooling mechanism like humans do. If the temperature of the dog rises above <strong>106 degrees<\/strong>, take him to a vet immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. There are various symptoms which you can notice in your doggie like<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Heavy panting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weakness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drooling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excessive thirst<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bright red tongue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rapid increase in heart rate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vomiting<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. What could you possibly do if your dog had a heat stroke?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Immediately move them away from the heat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Soak your pet in cold water. Not ice-cold, that could be fatal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You may even wet a towel and put it on the ground for your doggie to lay down on it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give him some water to drink.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take him to the vet and get him checked for any after effects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>4. The things mentioned in above points should be carried out when your pooch has a heat stroke. But why to let that happen when you can prevent it. <strong>Let&#8217;s have a look at some of the preventive measures now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Provide your pet with plenty of water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take him out for exercise and walks early in the morning or in the late evening when the temperature is moderate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you are taking him out during day time, keep him under a shade with a water bowl in front of him<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t leave your pooch in the car alone EVER. In many states of USA, it is illegal to leave your dog unattended in a car. The temperature inside the car rises at a rapid rate even though the windows are open. It can lead to deadly repercussions for your dog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>While travelling in a car with your dog, make sure AC is always on.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also trim the hair of your furry pal from time to time, to keep them cool.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Hope now you all are ready to enjoy a blissful summer with your pooch. Remember, prevention is always better than cure! Water is always a necessity in this hot weather for both humans and dogs. Carry water everywhere. Be cool and keep your dog cool too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.petcaresupplies.com\/dog-supplies-1.aspx?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=seo&amp;utm_campaign=know-heat-strokes-in-dogs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy Dog Health Care Products<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome summers!!
