In warm weather, take precautions so your dog doesn’t get heatstroke, a potentially fatal problem. This occurs when a dog becomes so overheated that he cannot pant fast enough to dissipate the heat. (Dogs can’t sweat like humans.)

As a dog’s body temperature rises, permanent damage can be done to his brain, intestines and kidneys. Only exercise your dog at night when it’s cooler, and provide cool, fresh water at all times.

if your dog ever becomes overheated, cool him off gradually--sudden cooling can cause shock. A fan, a light spray of cold water, and wet towels are all strategies to help him cool off, if needed.
