Dog Health Care Tip: Heat Stroke

Did you know that it only takes a few minutes for the heat in a closed up car to get dangerous enough to cause a heat stroke in your dog? Never leave your dog unattended in a closed car or unattended in the back of a truck on a hot summer day.

If it is necessary to leave your dog in the bed of a truck for a VERY short period of time, park in a shady area and make certain that your dog has plenty of water.

We all think that it will never happen to our fur babies but it only takes a few minutes for a dog to suffer a heat stroke.
