How to Prevent Heat Stroke in Dogs

► Hot summer weather can be more dangerous to dogs than many pet owners realize. When a dog's internal temperature is raised too high (generally about 106°F or 41°C), a chemical reaction occurs that actually breaks down the cells in your pet's body and can result in death. But, thankfully, there are some simple common-sense steps you can take to keep your dog healthy and prevent heat stroke ✔

► Tips
+ Also to tell if a dog is dehydrated your dog will have loose skin.
+ Pharmacies carry athlete-grade ice packs that can be frozen and create little mess. Additionally, they can be applied directly to specific areas.
+ You can purchase cool pads for use in the dog's crate or in your car. When soaked with cool water, they keep the temperature down. + Bandanas can also be used in this way.
+ To help your dogs feel cooler, you may fill a spray bottle with water and squirt him but unless you have used this method as a punishment, as it may think it has done something wrong.
+ Heat exhaustion is very common in bulldogs, pugs, and other breeds with short muzzles; special care must be taken with these breeds to prevent heat stroke.
+ Soaking a towel in cold/icy water and placing on a dog's back can help him to cool down. Make sure your dog responds positively to such a cool touch first, however ✔

► Warnings
+ If your dog is showing signs of heat stroke, use a rectal thermometer to check his temperature. If it is approaching 105 degrees, put your dog in a cool bath (or at least sponge him down) and call your veterinarian immediately. When your pet's temperature drops to 103 or 104 degrees, you can take him out of the cool bath so his temperature won't drop too quickly.
+ Some vets feel ice cubes are hazardous for certain dogs. Consult your vet to ensure ice okay for your pet ✔
