Dogs can easily overheat, especially in hot weather or during vigorous exercise. Signs of overheating in dogs include excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, bright red gums, vomiting, and collapse. To cool down an overheated dog, move them to a shaded or air-conditioned area, offer small amounts of cool (not cold) water, wet their paws and belly with cool water, and place a cool towel over their body. Avoid using ice-cold water or ice packs as this can constrict blood vessels and make it harder for the dog to cool down. It's crucial to monitor their temperature and seek veterinary help if their condition doesn't improve.
