PETS can become dehydrated and overheat quickly. Here are some common signs of overheating in dogs:

  • Excessive panting
  • Increased heart rate
  • Dry or pale gums
  • Weakness or collapse
  • To avoid overheating, try not to overexert your pet on walks, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and a shady spot to sit in. If you pet is showing signs of severe overheating, move your pet to a cooler area immediately, spray with cool (not cold) water, and give a small drink of water and contact your vet straight away.
