Vietnam's long hot season increases heatstroke risk in both dogs and cats, especially flat-faced breeds, senior pets, and overweight pets.
Early signs of heat stress
Watch for heavy panting, drooling, red gums, weakness, vomiting, unsteady walking, or collapse.
First aid before reaching the clinic
Move your pet to a cool area, use room-temperature water on paws and belly, provide small amounts of water, and go to a clinic immediately.
Daily prevention plan in hot weather
Walk dogs in early morning or evening, ensure shade and ventilation at home, and never leave pets in parked vehicles.
Cooling mats, fresh water stations, and weight control significantly reduce heat-related emergencies.
