Four Paws Dorset Dog Tip for Today – Heatstroke Symptoms!

      ☀️ HEATSTROKE SYMPTOMS ☀️

Following on from yesterday’s Dog Tip –

We’ve got another long hot weekend coming up so please familiarise yourself with the signs of heatstroke!

Signs of heatstroke can progress quickly. If you think your dog may have heatstroke it is vital that you immediately contact your vet while cooling them down. Getting early advice and treatment is essential to saving a dog’s life. Research has found that in the UK, although 1 in 7 dogs that are taken to vets with heatstroke die, 98% that are seen early with mild signs are likely to survive.

Know the signs, don’t risk your dog’s life and remember, if in doubt, don’t go out.
