As much as you can have the AC on, have it on and make sure the pup is in the room with the AC.
If the pup appears to be getting hot, do not dunk their whole body in cold water, you can shock their body... get a cold washcloth and apply it to their stomach area.
Keep nutrical on hand in case the pup appears to dehydrate, he may feel too hot to eat. |
Agree w/above. Heat stress is nothing to mess around with and can be fatal. Fans are cheaper to run than AC when it's a little cooler than 104. You can use Pedialyte for drinking water for electrolytes. If you do wet your dog down, don't use cold water, use lukewarm. If dog is showing puzzling symptoms, contact your vet. Even if you pull you dog through a heat stress spell, there can be big complications later as the result of it. Play it safe.
