Pugs and Hot Weather

[tatortot]

I knew this about Pugs before we got them, it worries me but our Puggies are so strange! They LOVE to lay out on the deck in the sun when it's 80+ degrees out!! Sometimes when we can't find them in the house we will find them laying out on the hot gravel!

Wow, I had no idea that pugs couldn't tolerate the heat that much. I mean I knew not to keep them out long in the sun, but I didn't realize how soon something terrible could happen. What I do with my other dog is dunk her in the pool every once in awhile while we are out just to cool her off. It seems to work.....will it work for Pugs too? Will dunking him in the water help him stay out longer?

Give the dog lots of water on hot days. This is to prevent heat stroke which is prevalent these days.

Thanks DantePugs for posting the link to that warm weather article! I've book marked it.
Have never had any experience with pugs & was given no specialized info on the breed when I began fostering Ethel 3 weeks ago in an urgent situation.
