Let Them Rest
Limit your dog’s exercise if the temperature rises above 20°C, and let them rest. Keep them mentally engaged with treat puzzles, brain games, or training to avoid boredom without overheating.

Watch Out for Heatstroke
Never ignore heatstroke signs like collapse, excessive panting, and vomiting. Move your dog to a cool spot, wet their coat with cool water, offer small sips of water, and get veterinary help immediately.
