Important Information: Travelling with Dogs & Staying Safe in Warm Weather

Ensuring your dog's hydration and safety is paramount, especially when travelling or during warm weather. Dogs are highly susceptible to overheating and heatstroke, which can be fatal. Being prepared and vigilant can make all the difference.

Keeping Your Dog Hydrated:

• Constant Access to Fresh Water: Always provide constant access to fresh, cool water. On walks, this means carrying a portable dog water bottle like the Trixie Plastic Bottle & Bowl. At home, ensure multiple water bowls are available in cool, shady spots.
• Encourage Drinking: Some dogs may not drink enough. You can add a splash of low-salt chicken broth to their water to make it more appealing, or even water down their kibble slightly.
• Frozen Treats: On hot days, offering dog-friendly ice cubes or frozen treats can be a fun way to increase their water intake and help cool them down.
• Recognise Dehydration: Be aware of the signs of dog dehydration: sunken eyes, dry sticky gums, lethargy, loss of skin elasticity (skin tenting when gently pinched and released), and excessive panting. If you suspect severe dehydration, contact a vet immediately.

Safe Travel with Dogs, Especially in Warm Weather:

• Never Leave Dogs in Hot Cars: This is the most crucial rule. Temperatures inside a car can rise to life-threatening levels in minutes, even on an overcast day or with windows open. Dogs die in hot cars very quickly due to heatstroke. If you cannot take your dog with you, leave them at home.
• Travel During Cooler Times: If journeys are unavoidable on warm days, plan to travel during the coolest parts of the day, such as early morning or late evening.
• Maintain Ventilation: Ensure your car is well-ventilated with air conditioning or windows slightly open to allow air circulation. However, avoid letting your dog hang their head out of the window as it can cause injury or debris in their eyes.
• Secure Your Dog: Use a dog car harness or a well-ventilated, secured crate to keep your dog safe and prevent them from distracting the driver. This is vital for dog safety in vehicles.
• Frequent Breaks: On longer journeys, plan regular stops in shaded areas. Offer water and allow your dog to stretch their legs and relieve themselves. Check the temperature of surfaces like asphalt, as they can burn paws.
• Monitor for Heatstroke: Watch for signs of heatstroke in dogs: excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, weakness, vomiting, wobbly gait, dark red gums, or collapse. If you notice these signs, immediately move your dog to a cool area, wet their coat with cool (not ice-cold) water, offer small amounts of water if they're conscious, and seek urgent veterinary attention.

By taking these precautions and investing in essential items like the Trixie Plastic Bottle & Bowl, you can help ensure your dog's safety and comfort, making every trip a happy and hydrated adventure.
