How to keep your dog cool and comfy during a heatwave
Some dogs need extra care and attention during a heatwave. (Envato Elements pic) PARIS : In hot weather, dog owners need to be extra vigilant to ensure the well-being of their four-legged friends. Unlike humans, dogs struggle to regulate their body temperature and are particularly vulnerable to heatstroke. Fortunately, a few simple steps can help keep them cool and comfortable in a heatwave. Adjust walking times Forget taking walks in the blazing sun! During periods of extreme heat, you should completely rethink your dog's walking schedule. Opt for early morning walks before 8am or late evening walks after 8pm, when temperatures are more moderate. Always seek out shaded areas and avoid asphalt at all costs. It traps heat and can cause painful burns to your pet's paws. Keep your dog hydrated Cool, fresh water must be available to your pet at all times. However, be careful not to serve it ice-cold, as this could cause thermal shock. You should change the water in their bowl several times a day, especially if it is exposed to the sun. Best to place several water bowls around your home or garden to encourage your dog to drink regularly. To keep the water cool for longer, add a few ice cubes to the bowl – many dogs love to lick them! You can also moisten their kibble with a little lukewarm water. This simple trick provides additional hydration at mealtimes, especially as dry food can increase thirst. Finally, homemade frozen treats (chicken broth frozen with a few pieces of kibble) are a great way to make hydration more fun. Resist the temptation to shave Contrary to popular belief, shaving your dog in hot weather is a mistake. Their coat provides natural protection from the sun's rays and helps regulate their body temperature. Instead, brush them regularly to aerate their coat and remove any dead undercoat, thereby optimizing their natural heat regulation. Keep the interior of your home cool, particularly during a heatwave, for your furry buddy's comfort. (Envato Elements pic) Keep an eye on vulnerable animals Some dogs require special attention during heat waves. Brachycephalic breeds (bulldogs, pugs, Pekingese) are most at risk, as their flat snouts make breathing difficult and expose them to heatstroke. Puppies and older dogs, which are less able to regulate their body temperature, should also be monitored closely in hot weather. Keep your home interior cool Creating a cool environment at home is essential. Close shutters and curtains during the hottest hours of the day, place damp cloths in front of fans, and create as many shaded areas as possible, both indoors and outdoors. Invest in a cooling mat for your dog's benefit, or set up a small pool in your garden where your pet can soak their paws. These simple tricks can significantly improve your companion's comfort. Never leave your dog alone in a car Even for a few minutes and even with the windows open, never leave your dog alone in a car. The temperature can rise to 50°C in less than 10 minutes, turning the interior into a real oven. This negligence can have dramatic, even fatal consequences. Know what to do in case of heatstroke If, despite all your precautions, your dog shows signs of heatstroke (excessive panting, drooling, unsteady gait), you should act immediately. The absolute priority is to lower their body temperature. 'There's no point rushing to the vet until the dog has cooled down,' explained Thierry Bedossa, veterinarian, president of the AVA animal shelter, and Rover ambassador. He said gently hosing, splashing or pouring cool (but not ice-cold) water over the dog for two to three minutes, focusing on the head, which is especially vulnerable. 'This action can literally save their life,' the expert said. Once the animal has cooled down, get them checked by a veterinarian without delay. By following these recommendations, you can provide your faithful companion with optimal conditions to get them through a heatwave with minimal discomfort. Taking care of pets in hot weather not only ensures their health and well-being, but also gives us peace of mind as responsible owners.

Dog dies of heat stroke after riding with owners in air-conditioned SUV
What began as a drive to meet a dog at a rescue ended in tragedy when a beloved family pet died of heat stroke. The owners had driven with the dog inside an SUV with the air conditioning on and the windows cracked. Now, the veterinarian who treated the dog is warning other pet owners to take extra precautions. Heat stroke despite air conditioning It started as a hot but happy summer day for Bruno and his owners in Ohio as they headed to a meet-and-greet to adopt another dog. But Sugarcreek Veterinary Clinic owner Dr. Brandon Michels said it went horribly wrong. "Bruno suffered a heat stroke from essentially being inside of a vehicle, even though that vehicle was running and had the air conditioning on, due to the extreme temperatures outside that day," Michels said. By the time Bruno arrived at Michels' practice, it was too late. The four-year-old Newfoundland had been riding in the backseat of the SUV. Michels said dogs with long hair or double coats, like Bruno, are more susceptible to overheating. "In a larger vehicle, you don't necessarily have fans that are circulating that air. Most of the time, those fans are located in the front of the vehicle," he said. Warning signs of heat stroke Michels said early signs of heat stroke in dogs include panting, dry gums and excessive drooling. "In more severe cases, some of the things you're going to see are trembling or drunkenness," he said. "That can then progress to vomiting and diarrhea." To help keep pets safe, Michels recommends cooling vests, frozen treats, and always having cool water and a bowl on hand. He also suggests pet-specific air conditioning units that can direct airflow to the back of a vehicle. Know your vehicle's airflow "Let the vehicle run for a little bit before you get in," said Art Munoz, chief government relations officer with Operation Kindness, a no-kill shelter in Carrollton. "Understand your vehicle, understand how your AC works — whether the circulation is better up front or toward the back — and just make those accommodations for your pets." Operation Kindness works with Dallas Animal Services to investigate hot car cases. "Every year we get the calls—multiple calls a year—not only in the city of Dallas, but cities all over Texas," Munoz said. "The good thing is, we haven't had any fatal cases as of now because we always advocate for people to call 911 or local animal control." Protect paws from hot pavement Munoz also urged pet owners to be mindful of hot pavement. "It is 10, 15, 20 degrees hotter," he said. "So always take those precautions, whether that's booties or early morning and late evening walks." Rescue group updates protocols Bruno's family had been en route to Life and Rescue with the Reeds when the tragedy occurred. The rescue group has since implemented new protocols to prevent similar incidents:
