After exercising in high temperatures, dogs need to drink a lot of water to dissipate heat and quench their thirst. At this time, the owner must feed cool water, not ice water, so as not to stimulate the stomach and intestines. The best time to take them outside is in the morning or evening, and try to let them play in the shade. Water is an essential nutrient for dogs, and when there is a 20% water shortage, the dog's life is at risk.
Cases of dogs dying from heat stroke occur frequently both at home and abroad. When you find your dog panting with its mouth wide open, foaming at the mouth, walking off balance, unconscious, and appearing weak, it is probably suffering from heat stroke. At this point, you should bring down its body temperature as soon as possible, either by showering the dog's body with cool water or putting it in a cold water bath to cool it down.
