To prevent heatstroke, you need to stay indoors as much as possible

If the weather forecast is very hot, please keep your dog indoors. This is essential to prevent heat stroke in dogs. Hot weather can cause a dog's body temperature to rise rapidly. To prevent your dog from getting heatstroke, walk your dog in the early morning and evening when the temperature on the ground is too hot for your dog to bear.

To prevent heat stroke, ensure shade outside

If your dog must be left outside during periods of high heat, there are steps you can take to ensure your dog's safety. The first thing to consider is to find an area that is well shaded and cool. Make sure your dog has adequate shade the entire time he or she is outside. Dogs must always be provided with a shaded area. Automatic water bowls and kiddie pools etc are great additions.

To prevent heat stroke, never leave your dog in the car

Never leave your dog in the car. Even if the windows, air conditioner, and everything in the car are open, dogs are still at risk of heatstroke. Research from Stanford University points out that the temperature inside a car in the hot summer is about twice as high as the outside temperature. Leaving your dog in a car for any amount of time during the hot summer months puts him at risk for heat stroke.
