Drama searching for relief of summer heat

Heat will kill your dog. If it’s been hot,  please use common sense and good judgment when you take your dog out in the heat. Greyhounds, because of their lack of fat and hair, don’t have the insulation other dogs have to the heat. They need to be in a controlled temperature environment of 68 – 72 degrees.

Always have WATER in the car, and with you on walks.
ICE – Take a thermos full of ice with you
Squirt Bottle – Bring a squirt bottle filled with cold, ice water with you to help keep their body heat down.

POOLS – greyhounds love to sit in wading pools to keep cool.  So keep one handy for when the temperatures get higher to help keep your hound(s) cool.
