If your dog is showing signs of heatstroke, then seeking immediate medical care is essential and can be lifesaving,” Dr. Mills says. Even if you aren’t sure if they’re experiencing true heatstroke, but they are showing some signs of overheating, it won’t hurt to go to your local emergency veterinary hospital anyway, she adds. What can help cool dogs down in the heat? That’s because dogs have very few sweat glands, which are located in the pads of their feet. When the temperature rises, outside surfaces retain heat, taxing the sweat glands and panting may not be able to cool your dog down sufficiently. There are precautions you can take to keep your dog safe. First, be aware of the signs of heatstroke: NEVER leave your dog in a parked car, not even for “a few minutes,” even when you have the air conditioner on — if the air conditioner malfunctions for any reason, your dog may not survive.

How hot is too hot for your dog? The answer may surprise you. It does depend on the dog, but when the temperature reaches 80 degrees, some breeds may be susceptible to heat stroke. At 85 degrees, the weather can be dangerous for most breeds. At 90 degrees, the heat can be life-threatening. If a dog is older and has trouble moving around, he may not be able to get into shade in time. Brachycephalic dogs with flat faces and short snouts like the Pug, Bulldog, Japanese Chin, Pekingese and others are also more at risk. Humidity makes it even harder for dogs to keep cool. On hot days, you can also use a cooling vest or a cooling bandana to keep your dog’s temperature down — both indoors and outdoors.
