Cooling Dogs Right This Summer

Damp towels under your dog, not over them—here’s the life-saving heatstroke hack every pup owner needs to know. The RSPCA warns that wet towels directly on dogs can trap heat, worsening overheating. Instead, place a cool, damp towel beneath them and rewet it often. Heatstroke is deadly for dogs, especially those with breathing issues, thick coats, or senior/puppy bodies. Watch for confusion, drooling, rapid breathing, or collapse—cool them down immediately with lukewarm water (not ice), then transport. Every second counts. Exercise early or late, and never walk your pup on pavement hotter than your hand. Stay smart, stay safe—your dog’s life depends on it.
