May 28, 2021: Heat-related Illness Day
Do you have a dog athlete or even just an active outside door that he prefers to walk around – forget the heat – instead of sitting on his cool dog bed in the air-conditioned house? Introducing Heat Disease Day, the last Friday in May when the weather is just warming up and getting damp. Never heard of Heat Related Disease (HRI)? There are two types: not strenuous and strenuous. We all know the non-strenuous HRI that dog lovers everywhere have been talking about. The best example is when a dog is left in a confined space like a car on a hot day with minimal ventilation. The body temperature warms up, the dog cannot cool down and suffers from heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke – all a type of heat-related illness (HRI). This topic is dealt with significantly. However, exercise HRI comes from trail running, mountain biking, flyball, and other sports activities with your dog. Pet food company Eukanuba, who developed the diet for sport and working dogs, wants to educate more dog lovers about the effects of heat and humidity on their dogs and how to enjoy the outdoors while keeping dogs safe. Two facts Eukanuba wants you to know: The rule of thumb of 140: Add the ambient temperature to the percentage of humidity. If it’s over 140, don’t let your dog run too hard. And what kind of dogs suffer the most? Overweight dogs, sedentary dogs, older dogs, and dogs that spend most days in the air conditioner.
