My puppy is struggling with heat. How can I cool him down safely?

IF you have a fun, you can try using it near her, if she doesn't like it just open the windows in your house this should be enough to cool her down, i understand that it is hot at the moment in Norway but it is relative, many dogs live in those temperatures and much higher most of the year.

Hello. Keeping the pups in the shade with a fan running is one way. Freezing large pop bottles of water & wrapping in a towel & placing the pups in or near will also keep them cooler. Good luck & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

It just may be too cold in front of the fan. She may also be afraid of the fan. Panting is a dog's way to regulate the body temperature. You can try to cool her down by taking Daisy swimming, or play with her showering her with a garden hose. You can also give her ice cubes to play with or suck (or eat....) and put ice cubes into her drinking bowl into the water. This should all help to cool her down as she sees fit or likes.

It depends on the dog. Your Aura may find it cool enough to be in a room with fan. However, if he keeps panting, drooling and looking unsettled he may need a room with AC to avoid overheating. If you can provide him with AC in the hottest days, please do so. I am sure he will feel better at 18-20C.

Room temperature, below 30 degrees celsius is usually perfectly all right. You can use a fan to help decreasing the temperature. If kennel cough is severe, it should be ideally treated with systemic antibiotics as secondary signs (like fever) and infections need to be addressed asap.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Keeping fans on to circulate the air and providing plenty of water are great ways to help keep Scout and Benny as cool as possible. I recommend opening any windows as well so that any breezes can help circulate air too. If you do these things, they should be safe to keep in the house in temperatures up to about 90 degrees. I would not play with them or exercise them in this heat as this can cause them to overheat. As a reminder, pets cannot sweat so they have to cool off by panting. If you think either of them are too hot, you can lay cool/wet towels over them and place them in front of a fan to try to actively cool them off. I would monitor them closely for excessive panting, especially if they are laying down and panting for prolonged periods. You can also examine their gum color and if it appears bright red, this can be a sign of heat exhaustion. If you see any of these signs, I would recommend having them evaluated by a veterinarian who can address their potential heat stroke. I hope this is helpful!

A fever is possible. You can take a rectal temperature. He may a fever if it is over 102. If he has a fever, it should be checked out by a vet. There are no recommend at home treatments for fever in dogs that are safe. Do not attempt to cool him since you can easily make puppies hypothermic. Either way, I would recommend that he get checked out by a vet to see if there is a possible reaction to his current ringworm treatment.
