"We have long-campaigned that dogs die in hot cars, but this year we’re highlighting that dogs die on hot walks, too. The message remains very simple – never leave a dog in a hot car because ‘not long’ is too long, and when it comes to walks, 'if in doubt, don’t go out.'" “It can take weeks for a dog to acclimatise to hot weather, so after a spell of cold weather, periods of hot weather can be particularly dangerous.”Pet owners have been told of warning signs to look out for by vet groups, to ensure their dog is safe as mercury soars.
Dogs can also experience an elevated body temperature which can lead to excessive thirst, vomiting, disorientation and stumbling.
