If you own a Brachycephalic (short-faced) dog like a Pekingese, Bulldog, Boxer, Japanese Chin, Pug, Boston Terrier, or Shih-Tzu, please be extra careful when walking them in the summer heat. Brachycephalic dogs do not pant as effectively as long-nosed dogs and can become over-heated much more quickly. Limit their time in the heat and exercise them indoors as much as possible.

Unfortunately, even the most careful of pet parents may need to find emergency care for their dogs. The first step is to be prepared. Find an emergency clinic close to your home and post their number in a prominent place or save it to your mobile phone. If your dog shows signs of serious injury or trauma, you can call the clinic for advice and if necessary, inform them that you are on your way with your dog so they can prepare for your arrival. |
