The Humane Society of London and Middlesex has a few tips for dog owners this summer.
LONDON/MIDDLESEX - The hot summer weather has arrived and the Humane Society of London and Middlesex has some advice for dog owners.
You should take your dog for shorter, more frequent walks around this time of of the year. Make sure you avoid walking on asphalt because it can burn the pads of your dogs paws.
Your dog should always have access to shade and fresh water and you should never leave them inside a hot vehicle.
The temperature inside a parked vehicle could spike very quickly even on a mild day and this could be very deadly for dogs due to their limited ability to sweat.
Some of the signs of a dog in distress include excessive drooling, vomiting and convulsions. You should also watch for excessive panting or if they stop panting completely.
If you spot an pet left alone in a hot vehicle, make sure you call 911.
