The height of the summer season is here so the WVHS is reminding pet owners and particularly dogs to the importance of protecting furry friends from the risk of heat stroke that can be life-threatening and develop very quickly

Dogs are especially vulnerable to overheating, even on walks or in a parked car for just a few minutes. Flat-faced breeds like Pugs or French Bulldogs, and puppies, senior-aged dogs, and those with health conditions are at even greater risk.

WVHS has shared tips to keep your dog safe this summer

Walk during early morning or late evening when it's cooler.
Avoid hot pavement—it can burn paws and raise body temperature.
Provide plenty of fresh water and shade.
Never leave your pet in a parked car, even with windows cracked.
Know the signs of heat stroke: excessive panting, drooling, confusion, elevated temperature, vomiting, or collapse.

If you suspect heat stroke, every minute counts. Move your dog to a cool area, offer water, and contact your vet or an emergency animal clinic immediately.
