Pet and Heatstroke
As the heat increases during this Australian summer, our pets become at risk of suffering from heat stress or heatstroke.
Heatstroke occurs when the body temperature increases to a point where they cannot cool down.
Common signs of heatstroke include:
Excessive panting
Drooling
Agitation
Bright pink or red gums
Lethargy
Collapse
Tips to prevent heatstroke:
Avoid exercising on a hot day
Keep your pet indoors in an air-conditioned room
Do not leave your pet in direct sunlight
Never leave a pet in the car
Always have water accessible
Offer cool, damp towels for the pet to sit on
If you are concerned that your pet is suffering from heat stroke, please call us on 49252999.
