The best way to protect your cat or dog is by going through a checklist of safety measures and looking for signs of dehydration and exhaustion due to hot weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pet heat stroke occurs when pets can\u2019t regulate body temperature in hot, humid conditions, leading to symptoms like panting, lethargy, and drooling.

The highest risk for cats and dogs occurs during the hottest days of the year. A good rule of thumb? <strong>If it\u2019s too hot outside for you, it\u2019s too hot outside for them, as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Pet Heat Stroke Symptoms?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pet heat stroke can affect both dogs and cats. Owners should watch for warning signs like heavy panting, rapid breathing, drooling, hot skin, red or dark gums, lethargy, imbalance, and muscle tremors. Cats may also show restlessness, unusual vocalizing, or a rapid heartbeat when they are experiencing excessive heat exposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms in dogs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you and Fido are planning to spend time outside in the hot sun, watch for these signs in dogs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Excessive panting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rapid breathing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excessive drooling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skin that\u2019s hot to the touch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bright red gums that transition to white gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dry mucous membranes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Imbalance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hyperactivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pupil dilation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Muscle tremors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Symptoms in cats<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cats can be just as susceptible to exhaustion caused by hot weather as dogs. Look for these warning signs of overheating in your cat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Panting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rapid heartbeat<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dark red gums<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lethargy<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skin that\u2019s hot to the touch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Abnormal vocalizing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restless behavior<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How It\u2019s Treated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pet heat stroke can be treated, but animals have a better chance of full recovery and no lasting health issues if you intervene as soon as you suspect that they\u2019re getting too hot.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you notice your cat or dog exhibiting signs, the first step is to try to cool them down immediately. Remove them from the situation, if possible. If they\u2019re outside, bring them inside where it\u2019s cooler.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spritz them with cool water (don\u2019t use ice-cold water) and point a fan towards them with gentle airflow. If you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/wirecutter\/reviews\/best-gear-to-keep-pets-cool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cooling mat<\/a>, place your cat or dog on top of it to help with getting rid of extra heat. It\u2019s important to remember not to use extremely cold water or air, as this could make their situation worse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take them to the veterinarian immediately if you\u2019ve just noticed signs of them getting too hot. If it doesn\u2019t seem like a severe case, you can have them examined by your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petwellclinic.com\/wp\/locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">local veterinarian<\/a>. If they\u2019re experiencing heat stroke, it is an <strong><em>emergency<\/em><\/strong>. It\u2019s crucial that you seek emergency vet care immediately at your local veterinary hospital or emergency vet center.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you get to the vet, they\u2019ll most likely take your pet\u2019s temperature and check their vital signs. Treatment decisions will be based on the condition they\u2019re in, but depending on the severity of their condition, could include:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ongoing treatment for an optimal recovery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Intravenous fluids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cooling treatments<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medications<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Testing\/monitoring organ function<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevent Heat Stroke in Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to protect your furry friend from pet heat stroke is to follow the right steps for prevention on hot days.

But these breeds are also known for a higher risk of certain health issues, including those related to high temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important that if you own one of these breeds, you practice hypervigilance in keeping them cool, especially during the summer months. Because they don\u2019t have sweat glands as we do, dogs pant to try to cool themselves, but that just isn\u2019t enough for these specific breeds. With an increased risk, your pug or bulldog won\u2019t take as long to develop it as other breeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proper hydration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it\u2019s hot outside, your dog or cat should have access to water at all times. Check to make sure they\u2019re actually drinking water throughout the day, too. If you know you\u2019re going to be out and about throughout the day, bring a <a href=\"https:\/\/doglab.com\/collapsible-dog-bowl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">portable dog bowl<\/a> with you and make sure you have access to water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping cool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a number of ways to keep your cat or dog cool. The best way is to limit the amount of time you spend in the hot weather all at once. Take breaks by finding an indoor spot for them to chill and cool off before going back out into the hot weather. Choose to go outside during a time when it\u2019s cooler or when there\u2019s more shade, if that\u2019s an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also invest in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rover.com\/blog\/dog-cooling-vests-to-beat-the-heat-this-summer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cooling vest<\/a> for your dog or cat that will help regulate their body temperature when you know you\u2019ll be out on a hot day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t leave them in a hot car<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This may seem like common sense, but it\u2019s important to never leave your dog or cat inside a vehicle on a hot day. Leaving your four-legged friend in a hot car could lead directly to pet heat stroke, and some states even have laws that allow members of the public to break car windows if they see one alone in a car that isn\u2019t running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inside of your car can get to be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/news\/dogs-hot-cars-and-other-summer-dangers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">20 degrees hotter<\/a> than the temperature outside, and that temperature will only climb the longer your pet is in the car. It\u2019s never a safe bet to leave them alone in a car on a hot day. The risks far outweigh any convenience. If you know that you\u2019re going somewhere, make sure they can accompany you, or leave them at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keeping Them Cool and Happy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heat-related issues are a real emergency for their health and can easily happen with the right weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monitor your pet during hot weather\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prevent overheating if you know that you\u2019ll be in hot conditions\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bring them to your veterinarian if they show any symptoms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Going through the right steps to prevent illnesses related to hot weather in pets ensures your furry companion lives a long and happy life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Your Local PetWellClinic to Keep Your Furry Friend Safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hydration, shade, and avoiding overexertion can\u2019t be emphasized enough for the prevention of pet heat stroke.
