Heatstroke

The summer heat is here! Take the time to plan for weather conditions when taking your pups with you on your adventures this summer.  If you do lots of daytime hiking and exploring during the hotter months talk with your trainer about how to safely teach your dog about cooling coats, boots, and other equipment to keep them cool and comfy.  Remember that dogs with shortened faces like bulldogs, pugs, or boxers are at more risk of overheating and dogs with white or hairless areas are more prone to sunburn.
