It's Summertime - WATCH FOR SIGNS OF HEAT STROKE

Heat stroke is an elevation of a dog's core body temperature. Because dogs don't sweat, they can't tolerate high temperatures. Body heat is dissipated by panting which helps bring in cooler air from outside the body. But when air temperatures are too high, even panting can't cool them down. Click on the link below from PETWAVE.com to read more about causes, prevention, symptoms, and treatment of heat stroke so you know how to recognize what's happening and know what to do if you see your pup getting overheated. Play outdoors early in the morning or after 6:30 in the evenings.
