Yes, i agree prevention is the best and sometimes the only way to go.

I've heard sad news that two dogs died because of heatstroke last week. The Brit who lived in Hong Kong thought it was good to take his two golden retrievers to go hiking....at the temperature of 35 degree. When they showed the symptom of heatstroke, he kept hiking until both dogs were in coma. A helicopter was dispatched to save them, and other hikers sprayed water over the dogs, but they all died.

That is too big lesson to handle.

Hi friend your advice is really useful.

Gosh, there are things there that really surprise me there. i.e. I would not have thought that dunking a dog into a bowl of water would be bad for it but now I know. Have read twice now. Thanks for the information.

If your pet (especially dogs and cats) shows signs of heat stroke such as excessive panting, staggered walking, elevated temperatures, red gums and vomiting, you should get them to a veterinarian as soon as possible. In the meantime, try to get their temperature down by having the animal step into a cool tub or child's pool, or running cool water over them.
