Dr. Lera Clone shares three ways to protect dogs from heatstroke in hot weather: keep walks under 10-15 minutes, limit brachycephalic breeds to about 10 minutes outside, and wet your dog regularly while outdoors.
More than 10 to 15 minutes.
About 10 minutes ("probably more than 10 minutes tops").
Wetting them on a regular basis.
Breaking news with Dr. Lehre. So we're getting a lot of heat waves in the southern parts of the United States. We live in South Florida. And so I really think it's very important to go ahead and talk about some of the top strategies on how to keep your pets from having a heat stroke. 11 is timing when your pet going to be outside obviously for prolonged periods of time. So when I say prolonged periods of time, what I mean probably more than 10 to 15 minutes and that's walking. Two is also knowing your pet's ability to cool themselves off. The smash face breed dogs, they have a very hard time so you don't want them outside for probably more than 10 minutes tops. Three is also going to be if you're going to have your dogs out for a prolonged period of time in the heat, make sure that you're wetting them on a regular basis. Hopefully you found this helpful. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day.
