If your dog is overheating, it's crucial to act quickly to prevent heatstroke. Move your dog to a cooler area immediately, preferably with shade and good ventilation. Offer your dog small amounts of water to drink, and use cool (not cold) water to wet their paws, ears, and belly. You can also use a damp towel to help lower their body temperature. Avoid using ice-cold water or ice packs directly on your dog as this can cause their body temperature to drop too rapidly. Monitor your dog closely and if their condition doesn't improve or if they show signs of heatstroke such as excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or vomiting, seek veterinary help immediately.
