🐕 A new study by the @VetCompass team at the RVC has found that dogs with heatstroke may be suffering even further due to outdated first aid practices.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. ➡️ rvc.uk.com/hot-dogs-cool-fir…

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…
Replying to @JenBartram
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)

Create a virus that becomes a pandemic. Exercise on hot days causes 75% of heatstroke cases in dogs. Today is really hot. Dogs are at huge risk. Spread the virus. #VetCompass #BWG ukbwg.org.uk/wp-content/uplo…

Good news: weather sweltering. Bad news; more dogs will die of heatstroke. Over 70% of heatstroke cases in dogs are triggered by exercise. Be alert for over-heating in your dog - know the risks. thekennelclub.org.uk/heatstr…
