What you’ll learn
- Heatstroke signs to watch for: lethargy; excessive panting/drooling; purple/deep‑red gums; staggering/collapse; increased heart rate; dehydration; vomiting. (If you’re concerned, ring your vet immediately.)
- Prevention that works: early/late walks, shade routes and water access, cooling mats/jackets, creating a cool area at home, and the crucial never leave in the car reminder.
- What to avoid/adjust: don’t douse in very cold water (temperature drop too fast); use a fine mist/spray instead (avoid the face).
- Five+ ideas for hot days at home: paddling pools, pupsicles (frozen treats), bobbing for treats, frozen socks/toys, plus low‑arousal scentwork and simple tricks to tire the brain.
- Step‑by‑step paddling‑pool intro (build confidence gradually; never force your dog in).
- Why sniffing matters: ideas for scatter feeding, treasure hunts, and “busy boxes”; 30 minutes of intense sniffing can be more tiring than an hour’s walk—ideal when it’s too warm for exertion.
What you get
- A 9‑page, image‑rich eBook with checkable ideas for prevention and indoor enrichment.
