Every summer many dogs tragically suffer and die from heatstroke, caused by overheating, for example, during exercise or from being left in a car.
Each year we hear tragic reports of dogs who suffer and even die from being left in hot cars. Parked cars can reach unbearable temperatures very quickly, even when left in the shade or with a window open. If a dog’s temperature goes above 40°C, irreversible damage to the brain and internal organs can occur. Â
If you spot a dog who has been left alone in a hot car, please call 999 immediately. Their life could depend on you. Â
For more information, please read the latest advice from the RSPCA
In hot weather, your dog’s normal walk or ball game can be potentially dangerous and lead to heatstroke. Studies have found that most cases of heatstroke are triggered by exercise, such as walking, playing or running. However, heatstroke can occur even when a dog sits in the heat for too long.Â
To avoid heatstroke:Â
Signs of heatstroke:Â Â
 Dogs who receive early treatment are likely to make a full recovery. However, if treatment is delayed, organ damage and even death is more likely. Â
If you notice any signs of heatstroke, contact your vet immediately and start first aid. For advice on giving first aid to dogs with heatstroke, visit the PDSA’s website.
