It's Hotter Than A Jalapeno's Armpit!

5/25/2023

It's not even officially summer yet but boy does it already feel like it here in Southcentral Kentucky!  Today is a timely "holiday" with it being National Heat Awareness Day.

Dogs can overheat more easily than humans, especially brachycephalic breeds. So when it comes to deciding when to take your dog out for a stroll, rollerblade, run, or trot, a good general rule of thumb is this: 
If the temperature plus humidity added together are greater than 150, it’s too hot for your dog! For example:

Temperature:  75°F 
Humidity level: 80% 

75 + 80 = 155...  THEN NO.

Learn more helpful hot summer tips for not just the cool dogs but also the feline friends (yes, they can overheat too!) here and here.
