Summer in Florida brings sun and heatstroke risks for pets. At Weston Road Animal Hospital, a Fear Free® Certified Clinic, we prioritize your pet's safety. Heatstroke happens when a pet's body temperature exceeds 103°F, risking serious health issues. High-risk pets include brachycephalic breeds, seniors, overweight animals, and those with health problems. Signs of heatstroke in dogs include excessive panting, red gums, and lethargy, while cats may show rapid breathing and dro. To prevent heatstroke, walk pets during cooler hours, provide fresh water, use cool mats or AC avoid hot pavement, and ensure shade outdoors.
