Hello. A couple of years ago ) Australia) we has temperatures of 45.7 degrees Celsius. All dogs inside in air conditioning. Our back verandah was full of wild parrots etc. We set up sprinklers for wild birds and sprinkler systems for our aviary birds. Wow what a year. 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕
My dog just had a heat stroke pretty recently. He was out less than 10 minutes and I saw him laying on his side and panting really fast and he could stand or walk. I immediately picked him up and started putting cool water all over his body and getting a cool towel and wiping down his ears. I read that’s where some heat can get trapped. I also got cool water and put it around his gums and laid him down on my cool tile floor. After 10 minutes and some sips of water, he came to. He threw up once in between but was rolling around being silly after then. One of the scariest moments of my life and I followed up with his vet and he said I saved his life and did everything perfectly.
Hey, great video, but I can't seem to understand how can you identify a heat stroke, if a dog is panting for 15 minutes or so and then breathing normally, could that be a heat stroke?
Hi, thank you for this video. It was very helpful. Another question related to to this is about fur length. I am going to south florida on vacation soon and would like to know some tips as well for sunburn in dogs. I am planning to travel with my dog (a cockapoo) and was wondering if having its fur length not too short would help protect against the heat and sunburn. Thank you!
Definitely having longer hair would help prevent sunburns on the skin and the haired areas. It's very hot and humid and South Florida and unless your dog is going in the water or going to be hose down quite frequently during the middle of the day I do not recommend having them play at that time. You will find that most dog parks are pretty empty during the day they're usually start to get full around dusk. If you're not cooling your dog off by by hosing them down in the middle of the day then you run the risk of your dog suffering from heat stroke.

Oh wow, that is really hot! Glad you set up those sprinklers.
