black dogs feel it the worst,our bentley pants a lot more than the others.

his heat coat i got from citycroft in the auction site does help,+plenty of liquid/electolites.

anybody any more ideas to make the heat more comfortable.

one interesting thing pointed out at the w/e.dont spray water on dogs backs as they cannot control temps.

spray head and tummy. tip from ljr :thumbsup:

so wet towels cut to coats must be a no no.

Another good reason to make sure the electrolytes you give to a dog are specifically for a dog and not for a horse, due to the way in which they regulate their temperatures the amount of each element in the electrolytes differs. I'm sure it's most specifically something to do with the potassium levels but it's a long time since I read the article.
