Dogs can't sweat like humans!
The nose not only serves as an olfactory organ, but is also essential for cooling the dog. She is the dog's air conditioner. When inhaling through the nose, moisture evaporates in the so-called folds of tissue in the nose, resulting in evaporation coolness. The greater the heat, the faster the dog breathes, it begins to pant. The dog's tongue contributes only slightly to the dog's cooling because its surface area is too small. If you were to spread out the wrinkled tissue of the nose, it would cover almost the entire surface of the dog's bed corner. When it is very hot, the dog pants up to 200-300 per minute and breathes in through the nose and out through the snout. An enormous effort for the dog's circulation and organs! Especially in dogs with a short nose (pugs, bulldogs, etc.), heat stress quickly develops, since the short nose is not sufficient to provide the necessary cooling. Brachycephalic respiratory distress syndrome (BAS) is aggravated by the reduced cooling effect of the nose, since cooling through panting is not sufficient. But even with older or very active dogs, the dog's circulation quickly reaches its limits.
Signs of heat stress in dogs
Here are some things to look out for: Be aware that these signs come in varying degrees, and note how obvious or severe they are, or how long your dog has been exposed to heat. The first signs of heat stress are:
- The dog is walking slower than normal, can't keep up with you
- Seeks shade and takes frequent breaks
- Look for puddles or other water sources
- Persistent or heavy panting
- Loud or heavy breathing
- Rapid pulse
- Dark red gums and tongue
- Big, stressed eyes'
General increased anxiety If a dog is in a parked car (ATTENTION: NEVER leave a dog in the car from an outside temperature of 15°C!) these additional signs can occur: - bark or howl
- Restless jumping about in the car
- Look for shady spots under the dashboard or seats
