FAQ

Yes, dogs often appear more tired in hot weather because they regulate heat less efficiently and are prone to heat exhaustion.

To cool a dog down fast, move them to a shaded area, offer water, and apply cool (not cold) water to their body, especially the paws, belly, and neck.

The three stages of heat exhaustion in dogs are heat stress, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke.

Most dogs struggle to tolerate temperatures above 90°F (32°C), and risk of heatstroke becomes significant at 95°F (35°C) and higher.

Common signs of an overheated dog include excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, vomiting, and uncoordinated movements.

At an air temperature of 87°F, pavement can reach approximately 143°F, which can quickly burn skin and paws.

Yes, a dog can get heat stroke in 80-degree weather, especially if the humidity is high or the dog is active, overweight, or belongs to a brachycephalic breed.

Yes, 29°C (84°F) is considered quite hot for most dogs and can pose a risk of heat stress, especially for certain breeds.

Pavement becomes too hot for dogs when the air temperature reaches around 77°F (25°C), as surfaces can heat up to over 125°F (52°C).

Avoid walking your dog when temperatures exceed 85°F (29°C) or drop below 20°F (-6°C), as extreme heat or cold can harm your pet.
