When the sun’s blazing and the pavements are sizzling, it’s not just humans who feel the heat, our pups do too. In this feel-good but important episode of Paws and Pawsitivity, Jamie Watkinson-Harvey, certified dog trainer, shares everything you need to know about keeping dogs safe during hot weather.
From the myth of “needing a walk every day” to the life-saving truth that no dog has ever died from missing a walk, but plenty have from overheating, this episode tackles the real risks of summer with heart, humour, and heaps of practical advice.
Whether your dog is a water-loving goof like Reggie and Penny or a shady observer like Onyx, Jamie offers easy enrichment alternatives to walks, creative cool-down ideas, and the vital steps to take if you see a dog in a hot car.
You’ll learn:
- How to spot the early signs of heatstroke
- Why tarmac is your dog’s enemy in summer
- Cool enrichment ideas that don’t involve leaving the house
- What to do in an emergency, and why acting fast matters
Tune in for peace of mind, fun alternatives to your usual routine, and a gentle reminder that your dog’s safety is always the top priority.
