Cooling your dog down in summer: useful and safe tips
During the hottest months of the year, especially when weather conditions reach red-alert level, it is not always easy for our four-legged friends to regulate their body temperature on their own. The most common risk is heatstroke (heat hyperpyrexia), a condition that, if it is not recognised straight away, can cause your animal serious distress. Below we give you some useful advice on how to handle sweltering days and cool your dog down in the safest way, without too much upset.
How can you tell if your dog is suffering from the heat?
With the arrival of summer, the nightmare of scorching weather returns for our loyal friends too. Depending on the breed, age, size and general state of health, the innate ability to regulate body temperature can fail, with fairly serious consequences. The breeds that suffer most in the heat are the brachycephalic ones, characterised by a broad head and short muzzle — features that expose boxers, bulldogs, pekingese and pugs to greater respiratory and eye problems.
Older dogs and those with heart conditions are also sensitive to humid heat. Learning to recognise an overheated dog in distress can save its life. Generally, heatstroke presents with:
- a reddened or bluish tongue
- excessive panting
- weakness and drowsiness
- vomiting
- diarrhoea
- convulsions (although these are rare)
- a body temperature above 40°
- restlessness
- a rapid heartbeat
- excessive drooling
- trembling
- reddened mucous membranes
If one or more of these symptoms is present, don't waste time: go straight to your trusted vet's surgery or the nearest animal emergency clinic. Ask a family member or a friend to help you get the dog into the car. In the meantime, try to bring the temperature down gradually with a few simple actions that will give immediate relief. If nobody else can drive the vehicle, ask someone you trust to carry out the steps for cooling the dog down.
Move the dog to the shadiest part of the car. Give it cool, clean water to avoid dehydration. Wet the coat with cool water using only your hands or with the help of a clean cloth. Even though it may seem like a good idea at the time, avoid ice and never lay one or more wet towels over the coat in an attempt to cool the animal down, because you will get the opposite effect, with an excessive build-up of moisture in the dog's body.
While you are on your way to the veterinary clinic or surgery, remember to keep the windows down or, better still, to switch on the air conditioning, avoiding pointing the air flow directly at your four-legged friend.
Even if you have the impression that the dog is recovering, let the vet carry out a general check-up to make sure it has not suffered any damage.
Dog temperature: how to monitor it and keep it ideal
A rise in body temperature is one of the typical symptoms of heatstroke. It can vary depending on age, breed and any pre-existing conditions. A healthy large-breed dog can record values fluctuating between 37.5°C and 39°C, while in an adult small-breed pet they hover between 37.8° and 38.5° (between 34.4° and 36.1° in puppies). Above 40°C it is best to consult your trusted vet. Be careful, though, because in some cases a dog might reach record temperatures without being feverish or having health problems. That is what happens, for example, after intense outdoor exercise.
If you suspect heat hyperpyrexia, start monitoring your dog's temperature: the rectal reading is far more reliable. Use a paediatric thermometer (one of the soft-tipped ones, to be clear).
Even the latest-generation infrared thermometers and thermochips are not very accurate. If you don't have a suitable measuring device, you can check your dog's temperature by touching the ears and the nose and by observing its behaviour.
A warm or cold nose in dogs: health indicators worth knowing
A dog's sense of smell resides in its nose, the organ that allows the animal to get to know its surroundings. To work properly, however, it needs to stay moist so that scent particles can stick to the surface more easily. The same organ also helps to regulate body temperature, especially after an intense play session or exercise.
Generally, a cold, moist nose is a sign of good health. A warm, dry nose, on the other hand, might be cause for some concern. It can be caused by: severe dehydration, an unusual discharge, dried bleeding, sunburn or heatstroke. That said, a warm nose in dogs is not always linked to a possible illness and can depend on:
- a change in temperature during the day
- dehydration after play or exercise
- a lack of lubrication during a nap
- age
- stress
- a warm, dry environment.
You will understand, then, that a warm nose alone is not enough to help you work out your four-legged friend's real state of health and assess whether it is suffering from excessive heat or possible hyperthermia (sunstroke). You will need to keep an eye on your dog's behaviour and any unusual symptoms, reporting them immediately to your trusted vet, who will be able to advise you on what to do.
Have you noticed cracking and irritation on the nose?
The condition could be linked to a natural tendency towards dryness or to poor tolerance of the high, humid temperatures typical of summer in recent decades. In both cases, look after your dog's nose by regularly applying the WellWoof Nose Balm by RedMoringa. Made in Italy, it meets the highest quality standards and, as well as deeply moisturising, it creates
a kind of protective shield that prevents damage to your pet's sensitive skin.
Its 100% natural composition makes the cream unique of its kind and perfect at any time of year (including winter, to counter cracking and irritation). The formula is safe, odourless, non-toxic and made only from premium ingredients of vegan origin:
- Moringa Oil. Renowned for its rich content of antioxidants, proteins, minerals and fatty acids, it boasts soothing and moisturising properties. It creates a barrier that prevents moisture loss and protects the nose from attack by external agents.
- Almond and Sunflower Oil. The antioxidants and fatty acids present in large quantities help to nourish the skin deeply, keeping it soft and supple for longer.
- Shea Butter. Known for its soothing and emollient properties, it repairs dry, damaged skin, protecting it from external weather conditions.
- Tocopherol and Calendula. Known for their soothing and moisturising action, both extracts effectively reduce the redness caused by irritation, helping the skin to recover quickly and preventing future cracking.
Simple ways to bring your dog's temperature down when it is too hot
Humid heat doesn't just affect us humans, but our beloved and loyal four-legged friends too. To make sure they have a more bearable summer and to avoid emergencies with sad endings, all you need is a few simple, useful steps to cool your dog down. You will already know some of them, others perhaps a little less, but in any case you will both benefit enormously:
- never leave your dog in the car, especially during the most critical hours of the day and in the sun. It doesn't matter if the stop is only a few minutes, if you have parked in the shade and have left the windows partly open. In summer, temperatures can rise from one moment to the next, turning the inside of the car into a kind of sauna that is potentially lethal for the animal.
- In the hottest months, limit exercise. Avoid long walks and outdoor runs during the hours marked by a red alert. Preferably go out early in the morning and in the evening, when the sun is not yet high and cannot do any damage.
- Always provide cool, clean drinking water, even when you are out or travelling, to prevent possible dehydration. Take a bottle or a folding bowl with you.
- If you notice a loss of appetite, don't panic straight away. In summer, many dogs start to eat less and sleep more.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure. Without adequate protection, a dog could suffer burns, solar dermatitis, redness, skin tumours and eye damage, quite apart from the very dangerous risk of heatstroke.
- When it is extremely hot you can buy tasty ice creams made specifically for your four-legged friend, or make them at home. They should be based on chicken stock with no added salt or flavourings, or fruit-based, ideally banana, a natural source of potassium and energy. This mineral is well known for helping to prevent symptoms such as tiredness and a feeling of weakness.
