I’ll enjoy it more if you:
Keep my water bowl full.
Make sure I have shade.
Don’t expect a fan to help. I cool differently than you do; I sweat mostly through my feet.
Take me to the vet iif I show signs of heatstroke: heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid heartbeat, difficulty breathing, excessive thirst, lethargy, fever, dizziness, lack of coordination, profuse salivation, vomiting, a deep red or purple tongue, seizure and unconsciousness.
