Is it OK to bring my outside dog inside the house on hot days? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 65 lbs

Dr. Macartney, BVet Med, MRCVS · Accepted Answer

Absolutely, in fact I would advise doing this to minimise the risk of heatstroke. Heatstroke is a life threatening emergency andany dog experiencing it should be taken to see a veterinarian immediately. Signs of heatstroke include; •shade seeking •difficulty breathing •panting •bright red tongue •weakness •depression •vomiting or diarrhoea •coma •shock With Heatstroke cases the sooner a dog is seen the better the outcome. The vet will cool the dog down, provide shock doses of fluid therapy, provide oxygen, and treat complications such as kidney failure. I hope that this answer is helpful!
