Dog heatstroke is a serious matter that can cause organ failure, internal bleeding, seizures, and even death. Your dog’s body is designed to work at a certain temperature, and if it reaches 104–106°F (40–41°C), it can wreak havoc on their body systems, so it's crucial to know how to cool down a dog in the summer.
A recent study in the UK showed that nearly 75% of heatstroke cases were in dogs who had been exercising, and nearly 13% were from environmental heat – the remaining 5% were dogs trapped in hot cars.
