PREVENTIVE MEASURES FOR CANINE HEAT STRESS
  • Never leave a dog in a closed vehicle, unventilated garage or similar enclosure in hot weather, for ANY length of time.
  • Provide shade cover outdoors.
  • Avoid excessive exercise of dogs during extremely hot weather.
  • Keep plenty of fresh drinking water available at all times.
  • Employ the use of a conductive cooling device like the K9 TE Kennel if possible. Evaporative cooling devices such as fans do little to cool a dog in high humidity environments.

 

EFFECTS OF TEMPERATURES ON DOGS
  • 120° - Heat Exhaustion and Death
  • 107° -  Brain Damage
  • 101.5° -  Dogs Normal Body Temperature

 

CANINE HEAT STRESS TREATMENT

High fever must be reduced rapidly to save the dog's life and prevent permanent brain damage. Body temperature of 106° and above can be tolerated for only a few minutes before irreversible damage occurs. If heatstroke occurs:

  • Gradually immerse the dog in cool water if possible.
  • Or, spray it with cold water from garden hose.
  • Apply ice packs to head and neck.

Above all, treat the dog promptly and take it to a veterinarian as soon as possible. Heat stroke, heat exhaustion and heat cramps must be treated by a veterinarian.

 

Development of the K9 TE Kennel was funded by the Technical Support Working Group, the US national forum that identifies, prioritizes, and coordinates interagency and international R&D requirements for combating terrorism.
