MP_the4pack Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 NJ's in the 90's and tomorrow may hit 100, too. I put the AC on in the house (just one room) at 80, so that they don't overheat. I also have two doggie pools filled to the top. They can get completely wet if they want/need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Shermanator Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 My girls are born and bred AZ doggies. They are acclimated to HOT weather. One of the BEST things you can do for your dog. Being acclimated can save their lives. Absolutely, but you still must be careful. When we first had Sherman, (and I didn't know any better,) we went to an event in the beginning of summer. He too was a born and bred an AZ dog, and raced here too, so he was also acclimated to the heat. However, he was out with shoes on (that were not very breathable), walking on black asphalt. He got sick, and developed heat exhaustion. We cooled him down with wet towels, and made him stand in some water. (Helps cool them down, too.) He started to feel better, and I got him home. After that he had very breathable shoes, and no more summer events! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BrianRke Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 its 100 and very humid. Dogs go out and potty and RUN back in. Usually they want to linger but not today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatterseaBrindl Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Mine hate the pool.... Dear old Billie was the only one who loved the pool. And it was too stinkin hot to be outside even in the pool yesterday afternoon. We did go out and I insisted they all go in for a good hosing in the evening. But... I've been keeping a spray bottle full of water in the fridge. Every hour or so all the dogs get sprayed down...backs, neck and specially their bellies. Heck...I even sprayed myself. The temp in my kitchen yesterday, late afternoon, was It was much better today and not nearly as humid. Quote Nancy...Mom to Sid (Peteles Tiger), Kibo (112 Carlota Galgos) and Joshi.

Yamaha_gurl Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Nancy, if you lived closer I'd invite you and the doggies over for some cool time infront of my window a/c Could someone advise on what signs there are if your dog is too hot? Obviously, panting a lot...but are there any other signs that it's too much?
