HOW TO AVOID HEAT STROKES IN YOUR PET THIS SUMMER-
Certain breeds, especially those with a long coats and short snouts such as (bulldogs,pugs and Persians)are particularly prone to heat stress,but all breads and coat lengths may be affected, especially during heat waves-

Unlike human,who are able to sweat to lose heat ,dogs and cats can't regulate their temperature in this way and rely mainly on panting and external cooling to lose heat from their bodies.This limit their ability to thermoregulate, which is why pet owners need to take action to minimize the risk of heat stress.
Something you can do include-
1) Ensuring your pet has access to fresh drinking water inside and outside the house;
2) Ensuring your pet has access to shade when outside and the freedom to move into shaded areas;
3) Avoiding excessive exercise/avoiding exercise during the hot parts of the day/avoiding exercise entirely on very hot days;
4) Not leaving pets in the car, even with the open windows;
