Summary
Dogs are suffering serious heat-related injuries as temperatures soar — from burnt paws to life-threatening heatstroke. Experts are urging a “dog lockdown” — skip walks if it’s too hot. Pavement can reach 50°C while air temps stay at 25°C, blistering paws, especially in brachycephalic breeds, overweight, or senior dogs who can’t cool down effectively. Watch for signs like heavy panting, red gums, vomiting, or lethargy — temps over 41°C are critical. Keep water fresh, use fans, cool towels, and avoid outdoor activity between 8 AM and 8 PM. Indoor enrichment like puzzle toys and frozen treats can keep pets happy and safe — shelters are already doing this. Your dog’s health comes first — stay cool until the heat breaks.
