href=\"https:\/\/www.animalsalut.com\/en\/animal-salut\/en\/veterinary-centre\/\">emergency<\/a>. It&#8217;s not simply that the dog is hot or tired after a walk: it happens when its body cannot regulate temperature and begins to affect the normal functioning of the organism.<\/p><p data-start=\"762\" data-end=\"1020\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1022\" data-end=\"1293\">It can develop in a matter of minutes, especially in summer, during very hot walks, intense exercise, waiting inside the car, sunny terraces or poorly ventilated spaces.

But with severe symptoms, the priority is always urgent veterinary care.<\/p><p data-start=\"1481\" data-end=\"1700\">\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-section-id=\"vfpq9w\" data-start=\"1702\" data-end=\"1739\">What is heatstroke in dogs<\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"1741\" data-end=\"2011\">Dogs do not sweat like people. They regulate temperature mainly by panting and, to a lesser extent, through their paw pads. That&#8217;s why, when it&#8217;s very hot, humid or the dog cannot ventilate well, its body can overheat quickly.<\/p><p data-start=\"1741\" data-end=\"2011\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2221\">Heatstroke occurs when that rise in temperature exceeds the dog&#8217;s ability to compensate. If action is not taken in time, it can affect important organs and become a serious situation.<\/p><p data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2221\">\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"2223\" data-end=\"2433\">The dog does not need to have been in the sun for hours. Sometimes a walk that is too long, playing ball during hot hours, being left in a car or being in a very hot room without ventilation is enough.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

data-start=\"7693\" data-end=\"7809\">Prevention is the best tool. In summer, small changes to the routine can prevent major problems.<\/p><p data-start=\"7693\" data-end=\"7809\">\u00a0<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-section-id=\"1k4502n\" data-start=\"7811\" data-end=\"7837\">Walk during cool hours<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"7839\" data-end=\"8021\">Avoid the hottest hours of the day. Ideally walk early in the morning and at night. If it&#8217;s very hot, shorten walks to quick outings so they can relieve themselves.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-section-id=\"1c6cdq6\" data-start=\"8023\" data-end=\"8049\">Be careful with asphalt<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"8051\" data-end=\"8255\">Asphalt can burn paw pads and greatly increase the feeling of heat. Touch the ground with the back of your hand for a few seconds. If it burns you or feels uncomfortable, it&#8217;s not safe for your dog.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-section-id=\"nz1qoq\" data-start=\"8257\" data-end=\"8284\">Avoid intense exercise<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"8286\" data-end=\"8436\">Don&#8217;t play fetch, don&#8217;t run and don&#8217;t do long routes during hot hours. Many dogs keep playing even when they&#8217;re exhausted, and that increases the risk.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-section-id=\"18mfxdf\" data-start=\"8438\" data-end=\"8460\">Always bring water<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"8462\" data-end=\"8580\">In summer, bring water on walks. You can offer small amounts and wet them if you notice they start to overheat.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-section-id=\"vemcjq\" data-start=\"8582\" data-end=\"8617\">Never leave them inside the car<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"8619\" data-end=\"8796\">Even for short periods and even if the windows are slightly open, the car can reach dangerous temperatures very quickly. Never leave your dog alone inside the car.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-section-id=\"1mdyz8q\" data-start=\"8798\" data-end=\"8823\">Keep the house cool<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"8825\" data-end=\"9019\">Keep water available, lower blinds during peak sun hours, and make sure the dog can choose a cool area. Do not keep them locked on balconies, terraces or rooms without ventilation.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-section-id=\"1a8gtvm\" data-start=\"9021\" data-end=\"9041\">Check the coat<\/h3><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"9043\" data-end=\"9219\">Brushing helps remove dead hair and improve coat ventilation. If you have doubts about trimming, de-shedding or maintenance, consult a professional before shaving.<\/p><p data-start=\"9043\" data-end=\"9219\">\u00a0<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-section-id=\"1mcurv8\" data-start=\"9221\" data-end=\"9261\">Heatstroke in dogs in Barcelona<\/h2><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-start=\"9263\" data-end=\"9502\">In Barcelona, heat often combines with humidity, hot asphalt, traffic and few cool areas at certain times.
