Dogs do not sweat in the same way humans do. Instead, they pant to help release heat from the body and cool themselves down, letting cold air in and warm air out. Conrad says this puts dogs at an increased risk of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Risk factors for overheating include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hot, especially highly humid, environments\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Long-haired and brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Very young or very old age<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obesity<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive exercise without a break<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lack of access to water\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dogs who are in a confined area like a car with no airflow or direct sunlight are at high risk of developing heat exhaustion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/fireworks-pets-dog-cat-anxiety\/\"><b>How to keep pets calm during the 4th of July<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do dogs act when overheated?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing the signs of heat exhaustion in your dog can help prevent them from getting too sick.

But if the body temperature is greater than 106 F, permanent brain damage may occur. Prolonged increases in temperature can also cause damage to proteins in the body creating bleeding issues and organ damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/pet-first-aid-kit\/\"><b>How to create a pet first aid kit\u2014and why you should<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do you treat heat exhaustion in dogs?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your pup is experiencing any of these signs, you need to act fast. The sooner your dog is treated, the better the prognosis. First, call your veterinarian right away. They may recommend immediate emergency medical treatment at a 24\/7 animal hospital if your pup is too sick for an office visit or treatment at home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If home treatment is recommended, make sure your pet is in a shaded area or a room with air conditioning. You can also offer them cold water to drink and place a thin wet towel across their body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you arrive at the vet\u2019s office or emergency animal hospital, the vet and assistants will act quickly. Your dog may need active cooling, intravenous fluids, and oxygen. They may also require medicine to support the central nervous system or normalize their heart rate. Most likely, your pet will need to be monitored until they show improvement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Ochoa says one of the first things your vet will do is give your dog IV fluids to help cool their internal body temperature. Your veterinarian may also pour cool, not cold, water over your dog\u2019s body, head, and feet or place your pup on ice packs, which can help cool your dog\u2019s skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your dog is vomiting, the vet may administer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/where-to-fill-pet-prescriptions\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">medication<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make it stop. More severe cases of heat stroke in dogs can cause seizures, which require administering IV seizure medication to control, according to Dr. Ochoa. Your dog\u2019s blood will also be tested for clotting issues. High temperatures can cause damage to the clotting factors in blood and these bleeding issues can show up days after an episode of heat stroke. If clotting times are affected, plasma transfusions and prolonged hospital stays may be needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long does it take a dog to recover from heat exhaustion?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When treated in time, the prognosis for heat exhaustion and heat stroke in dogs is very good. However, if symptoms persist for too long before intervention, the prognosis is not as hopeful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a<\/span>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5800390\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2017 review<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a prolonged time lag from the occurrence of the heat insult to the presentation for veterinary care increased the risk of death in dogs. The time lag was identified as greater than 90 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the results from this review, the researchers recommend intensive and prolonged treatment and monitoring of heatstroke in dogs, since most of the complications have delayed onsets and are serious risk factors for death.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a veterinarian treats your pup, they will regularly check the dog\u2019s rectal temperature until it reaches 103 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Once your dog\u2019s body temperature reaches a safe level, the vet will decrease the cooling methods and continue to monitor your dog\u2019s symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>RELATED: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/blog\/top-discount-pet-medication\/\"><b>The top 10 discounts on pet medications with SingleCare<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are some preventive measures to keep your dog cool?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best way to keep your pooch safe is to prevent them from overheating in the first place.
