Dog owners beware, I went down to a local beach last night about 8ish half a mile walk 2 dog owners were having to carry their dogs back up as they would just sit down, don't think they had been on the beach all day just gone out for usual evening walk.

Some people shouldn’t have dogs. No dog ever died from not having a walk

Keeping mine in with damp towels to lay on - not risking it.

Won't be going anywhere with mine. It won't hurt them to miss a walk or two

Thats why I only take my boy early in the morning and late at night. If for what ever reason I'm up later and it's hot I take him out in the garden where there's lots of shade. Not worth putting his life at risk .

So good to see people caring and thinking about their pets. Miss my doogie.

Absolutely wonderful.

Cooler in the evening plus he loves a good sniff around

To be honest, mine can sit down on a cold day as he loves pretending he needs a carry!

But you're absolutely right, taking no risks in the heat. Doggo and I have been taking very leisurely strolls in the early mornings or late evening with a shady paddling pool in the garden if he needs it...

Took ours out at 7, a few other owners doing the same too..

That's it for today, no second walk and tomorrow it'll probably be 6 am..

Tuesday they may have to miss out but as said it won't hurt them not too..

If it's over 20 degrees no walkies. I've been playing some enrichment games with him.

I rarely take my dogs out.

My garden is big enough for them to run around in and they have the neighbours' dogs to bark at.

Think what their saying is in this hot weather a dog will survive not going on it’s regular walk rather than risking the dogs life walking in the hot weather

Many dogs can die on walks.

They can lost, run over, stolen or attacked by other dogs.

And in this heat people are going to die, let alone those with full fur coats

Mine is staying indoors in the high temperature, like it or not.

If she starts panting I will bather her and let her air dry, she likes that

As I said on Fabio's thread about the heat, frozen water bottles, with a towel round are good for them to lie next to.

Rabbits really suffer in heat so if you have any get them inside and keep giving them a frozen water bottle.

My dog gets stressed if he doesn’t get walked. I’ve been taking him out earlier, and going via the stream

You're right, it's too hot for me and I read it wrong

Sorry

I’ve been and bought a small hard plastic kids sand pit and filled it with water, my two dogs are in it all the time, also put a cover over the whirly washing line so it’s in the shade

What I hadn't realised until I was told yesterday, is that mountain dogs with very thick fur should not get wet.

Hidden pockets of water deep in the fur cause unseen sores on their skin

Took my boy for a great swim on the river this morning. He absolutely loves it there .

They’ll be no more walkies for him today now apart from possibly a quick one once it starts getting dark.

I also have a dog walking business . Have told all clients that there won’t be any walks tomorrow apart from the ones I do early doors. All lovely people and appreciative that I am looking out for their dogs welfare .
