While we long for days in the sun with our dog, some summer days can really take it too far and can be too hot to walk our dogs safely. Like us, dogs are vulnerable to heat stroke but can’t regulate their body temperature as well as humans…well, some of us Brits also struggle quite a bit with that.
With the summer coming along, you probably have a couple of questions: when is it too hot to walk your dog? How will you know? What do you do if your dog gets too hot? Do they still need exercise when it’s baking outside?
No need to stress. In this article, we’ll tell you all about it. We’ll go over when it’s too hot to walk your dog and how to figure that out, why walking your dog in the heat isn’t a good idea, and what happens to your dog when they get too hot. We’ll also give you tips on things you can do with your dog when it’s too hot to walk outside, and how to keep your dog cool in hot weather.
