But, before you do, you\u2019ll definitely want to learn how you can keep your dog safe while you\u2019re out and about.<\/p>\n<p>Keep reading to learn what temperatures require extra caution, the warning signs of a heatstroke, and our top tips for exercising your dog outdoors.<\/p>\n<h3>So, How Hot Is TOO Hot for a Dog Anyway?<\/h3>\n<p>Most dogs are safe outdoors up to about 90 degrees Fahrenheit. However, each dog is different, and some dogs just aren\u2019t well-suited to high temperatures.<\/p>\n<p>In particular, you want to be especially careful outdoors if your dog meets any of the following criteria:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Less than 6 months old<\/li>\n<li>Elderly<\/li>\n<li>Short-nosed (i.e. pugs, Boston terriers, bulldogs)<\/li>\n<li>Long-haired<\/li>\n<li>Overweight<\/li>\n<li>Sick<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You\u2019ll also want to avoid leaving your dog in a parked car during the warm summer months\u2014even with the car running and the AC on.<\/p>\n<p>Temperatures can rise very quickly in parked vehicles, causing dogs to experience irreversible organ damage and even death.<\/p>\n<h3>What Are the Warning Signs My Dog May Be Having a Heatstroke?<\/h3>\n<p>Heatstroke occurs when a dog\u2019s body temperature rises too much in response to hot outdoor temperatures. This serious condition can be deadly and requires immediate attention, should you notice your dog experiencing any of the following heatstroke symptoms:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vigorous panting<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness or disorientation<\/li>\n<li>Dark red gums<\/li>\n<li>Thick saliva<\/li>\n<li>Lying down, and unwilling or unable to get up<\/li>\n<li>Collapse<\/li>\n<li>Loss of consciousness<\/li>\n<li>Tacky or dry mucous membranes, particularly around the gums<\/li>\n<li>Higher rectal temperature (over 104 degrees requires action, over 105 degrees constitutes an emergency)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your dog is displaying any of these signs, move him to a cool area, give him access to plenty of cold water, and contact your vet. If multiple symptoms are present, take your dog to the vet immediately for emergency care.<\/p>\n<h3>What Tips Do You Have for Exercising My Dog Outdoors?<\/h3>\n<p>There are a few things you can do to keep your dog healthy and active during the warm summer months:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Workout Early or Late \u2013 Opt to walk your dogs outdoors either early in the AM or late at night when temperatures are cooler.<\/li>\n<li>Take Breaks \u2013 Aim for a couple shorter trips outside throughout the day, rather than one longer session.<\/li>\n<li>Offer Water \u2013 Make sure your dog has access to drinking water outdoors, at least once every 15 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Use Doggy Booties \u2013 If it\u2019s too hot for you to be barefoot outdoors, it\u2019s too hot for your dog\u2019s paws. In that case, try taking your dog outside with doggy booties on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What\u2019s Your Best Tip for Keeping My Dog Cool and Content This Summer?<\/h3>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petpalaceresort.com\/services\/doggy-day-care\/\">doggy day care<\/a> is the ideal way to keep your dog healthy and happy this summer.
