Just to warn people with dogs with long coats or thick/double coats to be extra careful when doggies are out and about playing

heat stroke and exhaustion can make dogs very ill and in some cases has caused fatalities

if out and about make sure you take water with you so doggies can havea drink
ensure that there are plenty of shaded areas that your doggies can go to lay in if needs be too

and when at home if possible get a solid plastic kiddies paddling pool for dogs to cool off in

The hottest part of days i have cold wet towels soaking in the sink so if needs be i can put them over the dogs heads and tums

I know most people will probs know all this but thought i would just shout it out for them that didnt as i had a freind loose a dog through over heating
Ideally walk them first thing in the morning and last thing before bed when it is cooler. I get cross when I see people walking their dogs in the heat of the day. Humans might enjoy the heat but the sight of a dog padding beside it's human, head held low, sides heaving, eyes bulging and tongue hanging down to its knees always distresses me to the point that I want to shout at the stupid owner. Of course, never take your dog out in the car either on hot days if you have to leave him in it for even 10 minutes.
I have one of those non spill bowls in the car and a huge ex 5 litre bleach container (well rinsed) with clean water in or on hot days I part fill it and freeze it so the water coming out is cold. Keep sun roofs closed too as open ones allow sun rays to beam in and make the car hot. And please please don't cram your dogs behind the rear seat if you only have a little hatchback as they will be squashed against the back window with no way of getting out of the sun beaming through. Best leave them at home if you have to go out in the car.
Good post Emma. All my lot know the words "get in the shade". I have flat faced little dogs which can easily overheat so I just tell them to "get in the shade" and they go and lay beneath one of the trailers in the yar or come indoors and stretch out on the quarry tiles (my cottage is cool in summer and warm in winter). Don't forget all other pets too. Cover rabbit and guinea pig runs with a towel, if they only have a hutch, place a couple of bricks on the roof and lay a sheet of plywood on top of the brick to make a false roof which shades the roof underneath it.
