Our latest research shows human heat-health alerts are useful for dogs too: 5 times as many dogs presented to the UK's largest emergency vet group during heat-health alerts than during the rest of summer 2022.

We've summarised our latest paper in a blog post - heatstroke.dog/2023/07/20/my…
Article here mdpi.com/2306-7381/10/7/465 but TL:DR - cool first, transport second, and use water to cool dogs with heatstroke! Cold-water immersion for young/healthy, or water plus air movement for any dog.

🐕 A new study by the @VetCompass team at the RVC has found that dogs with heatstroke may be suffering even further due to outdated first aid practices. Updated guidance includes cold water immersion and using fans or air conditioning on soaked dogs.

Has your dog survived heatstroke? Would you be willing to share their story to help educate other dog owners? This would NOT be anonymous, and could include video/images/audio. If you would be willing to support the #DogsDieInHotCars and #DogsDieOnHotWalks campaigns please DM!

Not just dogs either! ALL pets are at risk of heatstroke so check on all animals frequently over the next few days! More advice here from @AnneCarterPhD @CompassVet and me 🥵theconversation.com/how-to-k…

What about your pets? YoThey will struggle in hot weather like this - and unless they’re particularly well travelled pets, this heat will be unprecedented for them. It’s not just dogs dying in hot cars - they will die from hot walks too bva.co.uk/news-and-blog/blog… (11/n)

Quinn the Cav is ready for a day watching Cambridge bumps! It’s currently 30°C 🥵 but he’s chilling in a wet cool vest (being re-wet every 10mins), on his cool mat, with his water bowl, in the shade, with a nice breeze 😎
How are you keeping your dogs cool? 🐶🌡💨💦
