Keep Your Dog Safe in Hot Weather | Seattle News

Your pup’s paws are at risk in the heat—hot pavement burns, humidity traps their cooling panting, and their coat is their sunscreen. Skip the shave, hydrate smart, and chill them with mats or baths, not fans. Walks? Early or late. Flat-faced breeds and light-eared pups? Extra vulnerable. Never leave them in a car—even five minutes can be deadly. Heatstroke signs? Heavy panting, glazed eyes, dark tongue, drooling, collapse. If temp hits 106°F, act fast: cool them with water (avoid head), fan them, and rush to the vet. Cool them down first, then drive.
