#1 – Pay Attention to Short-nosed Dog Breeds
Short-nosed, or Brachycephalic, dog breeds like pugs or boxers, should not accompany you during your jogging sessions unless you’ve taken the necessary precautions. Their body temperature can rise very quickly and their reduced airways make breathing more difficult.
The best way to avoid the risk of heat stroke is by following these basic safety rules:
– Go out with your dog for short quiet walks only at the coolest hours of the day.
– Avoid or limit the intensity of the ball games, jumps, races, and other high impact activities.
