- K9 Heat Stroke are the life-threatening physiologic changes that occur from an elevated body temperature caused by hot or humid conditions.
- If a dog is either overactive in hot and humid weather OR is left in a hot car or similar environment too long, they can quickly become overheated
- Obese dogs or dog breeds with short noses (Pugs, Shih Tzu’s, Bulldogs) are much more prone to heat stroke
- A dog’s NORMAL temperature is between 100.5 degrees F – 102.5 degrees F
- A temperature GREATER THAN 105 degrees F is considered an EMERGENCY!
