Suddenly Saturday and Preventing Heat Stroke

"With warm weather on the horizon (finally!) we need to be aware of how our canine friends are effected from the heat. Bulldogs and other short nose breeds are more prone to breathing issues in warmer weather and can suffer from heat stroke more readily. The following link to Vet Depot contains a great reference chart for symptoms of heat stroke. Though it is helpful one should guard against this occurring to begin with. If its over 75 degrees it becomes uncomfortable for bulldogs and instead of taking them for a walk during the day please wait until evening hours when the sun is down and the weather has cooled off a bit! 

I have found that Ozzie and now Nala prefer to stay inside with the A/C going watching the Animal Planet channel! Probably the best place to be for a bulldog during the summer!"
