Experts have issued an urgent warning to the owners of nine common dog breeds which will be at risk of heatstroke, a serious and life-threatening condition especially for dogs, which can only disperse heat by panting. Vets and the RSPCA have both issued warnings to pet owners urging them to refrain walking dogs in the heat, Birmingham Live reports.
