🌞 Hot weather is forecast this weekend. If you're planning to hike, think twice before bringing your dog.
Dogs cool themselves primarily by panting, making them much more susceptible to heat-related illness. Hot trails and rocks can also burn their paws.

Don’t ever leave us in a car. It becomes an oven.
Call 911 immediately when you see that we aren’t feeling well. If you are close to a trailhead, carry the dog out. Actively cool them with wet towels and fanning and get them water to drink and into an air conditioned vehicle
Delays result in death so quickly. We know you love us but it’s best to leave us home when you hike in temps over 75 degrees or on high humidity days. #canine #K9 #caninerescue #k9rescue #k9searchandrescue #caninesearchunit
Attention hikers who hike with their little buddies! Pets can die very quickly while hiking in the heat, so please take this advice from K9 “Viper” of @MalibuSAR
Keep us trim and fit. If your dog is older or out of shape, leave the dog home.
Watch us for signs of heat stroke: excessive panting, curled tongue at the end, drooling, a dazed look, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, bright red eyes/gums, refusal to walk further, collapse, or shaking.
We dehydrate very fast and can succumb to heat stroke within minutes. Since we can’t talk, you won’t know until it’s too late. We don’t have to be hiking long before things go bad.
Take frequent breaks in the shade to rest and hydrate us.
Bring tons of extra water. Most of the people we encounter have insufficient fluids for themselves, let alone their dogs.
Hike with us only in the early morning or evening hours if temps are cooler.
