Recently the Humane Society of London and Middlesex offered some advice for pet owners during the extreme heat.
- 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.
