In the hot summer, although most dogs have high IQ, they are difficult to resist the invasion of high temperatures. When the summer sun is scorching, dogs are likely to be threatened with heatstroke. So, how to detect their discomfort in time and how to prevent this danger?

First, let us gain insight into the symptoms of heat stroke in dogs. When they lose their appetite and their eyes are blurred, as if they have lost their former vitality, this is the early sign of heatstroke.

Then, the dogs will become slow and may appear indifferent when teasing them. What's more serious is that if the dog is unstable when walking, its neck stretches, as if it is breathing hard. At this time, their body temperature will rise sharply, possibly up to 40 degrees, accompanied by frequent tongue-tickling movements. If the dog holds his body tightly against the ground and his breathing is rapid and heavy, it is likely to be a sign of heatstroke.

What is more serious is that if the dog has symptoms such as foaming, dizziness, and shock, it must be sent to the pet hospital for treatment immediately.

So, how should we prevent heatstroke from dogs? First of all, it is crucial to arrange your dog's exercise time reasonably. Avoid high temperatures at noon and choose to take a walk in the early morning or evening while ensuring that your dog has plenty of drinking water.

Secondly, try to minimize strenuous exercise for dogs, and avoid high-intensity activities such as running at high speed and jumping. Furthermore, it is also essential to prepare some cooling equipment for your dog, such as ice pads, air conditioning fans, etc., to ensure that the dog can also feel cool at home.

Finally, remember not to feed dogs cold drinks, as this may cause gastrointestinal problems and cause damage to the dog's health. I hope all poop shovelers can pay attention to the health of their dogs and ensure that they have a happy summer. May your Boston Terrier grow up healthily and happily!
