How dog walks can become deadly when the heat rises

Walking dogs in hot weather can be dangerous as they struggle to regulate their temperature, putting them at risk of heat-related illnesses. Signs of overheating in dogs include heavy panting, excessive drooling, lethargy, and loss of consciousness. The RSPCA advises moving the dog to a cool area, pouring cool water over them, and avoiding walking or exercising dogs in hot weather to prevent heat-related issues. Be cautious and attentive to your dog's well-being during heatwaves to avoid any potential dangers.
