I mean to be fair dogs are adapted to have fur and no shoes so not quite the same.

👍

Reminds me of when I encountered a thirsty couple with their dog on a trail. They said they weren’t thirsty, but f**k them, fine, I only gave water to the DOG.

Antropomorphing dogs. No, you don't need a fur coat to mimic being a dog. My cat lóves the heat, eventhough she's fully haired. She then often comes in to cool off, being totally warmed up. They simply slow down. So, that's the only advice: Slow down.

nawt tew menshun hang yur oan hed owt der windough wen yoo dryve yur car.

SPOT ON‼️💯‼️

or...just let yr dog stay at home staring and whimpering at you no sorry no walk today...crap on the floor instead

No one disagrees with that.

I would also recommend the no shoes policy for those people who don't pick up after their pets. 😉

I absolutely agree with you . Thank you for your reminder.

Also, as dogs have a higher body temp and can only pant to sweat, owners should be aware that some of the cute costumes may be detrimental.

Seriously behavior that should be an automatic 72 psych hold for being inimical to their own life at 90°

Don't forget the leash and collar of your Mistress.

OR let the dog lead them to pass time in the first shady spot or pond for a swim. The only reason a dog follows an idiot in that heat is because it is restricted by a leash. Dogs know when to adjust a routine.

What's worse,when emergency RESCUE dog handlers don't give the dogs protection. I can't find it right now, but a news story once reported of a rescue dog that was submitted to the vet for cut up paws after going thru rubble for HOURS looking for survivors after earthquake. Irresponsible dog handling

When a dog's gotta go, its gotta go.

Yeah, no kidding. It’s infuriating.

WTF 😧

Reposting. Thanks.

There are times where I don't walk my dog until 9-10 at night. Even then the humidity is sometimes bad, so I shorten the walk and take water for him

Also, if you take a shit, put it in a plastic bag and carry it around with you. If you smell wee, wee on it, and if you another person smell their arse.

Breed does matter...but for God's sake let them walk in grass instead of on pavement, and offer water often.

This is Buddy, he thinks you’re a very tupid man. Buddy can go out all day everyday, he likes sun, he likes rain, hail, snow, wind, storms, he knows ways to keep warm, he knows ways to keep cool.

And bring no water bottle

And pick your mess up afterwards 💩

..mind you, cats have the right idea

And more of their owners need to queue for the loo as politely

I think that falls under "use caution"

My first lab did not get the too cold memo. She thought -15 F was just great.

I think as long as they have access to shade and water, and you're checking on them, they're fine.

Lol my dogs weren't even northern breeds (one was but only 1/8 Husky) and they'd get pissy if I tried to bring them inside when it was below freezing and snowing. Especially my Shepherd/Doberman mix. He'd stand belly deep in snow wagging his tail just staring at me if I tried making him go inside.

Saving this to repost thru the summer!! 💙 🐶 💙

I've used cooling vests for my dogs -- they're great! (But I recommend buying from some place w/a good return policy b/c some brands are better than others. You'll want one that DOESN'T get heavy when wet.) bsky.app/profile/budd...

Dumb fkng Americans making an issue out of every thing. This is how MAGA rose to power because of fucking stupid shit like this. Nice job finding controversies in every little thing, Moral Police. Get fkd.

Yes

dogs anatomy is very different than humans.

... and follow the advice!

Dog owners need to start picking up after their pets. Stop throwing bags of dog shit all over the place and put them in the bin!!!!

Thank you for sharing this!

I would walk on pavement while my doxie walked on grass and I carried water for him , he lived to 16yrs , chance was a good boy

Or if you’re leaving your dog in the car with the windows cracked. Sit your own ass in there with a fur coat on. #StupidPeopleDontDeserveDogs

Yes they do!

What a great sjgn

And I for one appreciate it.

No shit

Facts. They are important, even if they make you uncomfortable. And to stop people from doing this shit... Read: www.aspca.org/news/heat-wa...

👍👍👍👍

Right! And put your damn cell phone in your pocket and give your best friend, your buddy, your undivided attention for 15 fkg minutes so he or she can have a good walk! 😠

Yes! This is what I do. Or use my foot.

Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun The Japanese don't care to The Chinese wouldn't dare to Hindoos and Argentines sleep firmly from 12 to one But Englishmen detest a siesta

🎯

The people that think dogs foot pads are the same as unconditioned feet are hilarious. If you had bare feet all the time hot concrete wouldn’t affect you. Asphalt is another story though. That can burn. Dogs are not people and comparing the 2 doesn’t help anyone.

Last year while at the vets, our milo was having his yearly jab,we saw a dog with burnt pads, never forget the cry that dog had! Here in the UK, If its a hot day, always try to keep him on the grass verge. Morning walk 9am evening walk 6pm

silly

Exactly. Some people just don't think 🤔🤔

That's pretty great. My recommendation for dog owners: bsky.app/profile/budd...

That also goes for drives in the car!

👍👍👍

I also liked this sign I saw recently.. I want one to post in our neighborhood ( and add cats to it since there are Many outdoor cats in the neighborhood as well )

Their coats breathe. That is the cause of their heat sensitivity. If you look at wild dogs in Africa, they know how to stay cool by being active at night & sleeping in the shade during the day. Humans need to create an environment similar to the pets Nature. Concrete/asphalt is Not nature either.

Well said!! 👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

👍👍👍 INFUKKINGDEED! HUMAN ANIMALS SUKK!!

Why I trimmed my #Spitz #dog in this brutal heat, when ppl objected on the basis of aesthetics i.e. that she is cuter with fluffy fur than trimmed. I told them I couldn't care less because to me she is ALWAYS beautiful and her comfort is *way* more important!

Appreciate that share

We don't have to worry about this yet, it just snowed again the other night 🤣.

Also, please take water with you if you are going for a long walk.

Not comparable at all

Thats not entirely true, but it’s a great point. especial for older doggos

Depends on the breed. I have two Rhodesians and they love the heat. They choose to lie on the driveway during summer. I don’t walk them on hot pavement b/c it should be their choice. In winter, we take them to an area with a pond. The Labs always come out of the water with frozen whiskers unfazed.

If you’re not 18+ you’re not allowed on here 🤨

My dogs are inside for extreme cold or heat. They have their own dog houses and water outside but they are moved inside when needed. (The dog houses have exhaust fans and good shade.) Dogs are family, treat them well and they will love you always.

As a dog owner of 3 I 300% approve this message.

I need to double check my posts from now on, then. Thanks!

The keyboard on this site is jacked!!

I refuse to do fur coats. You realize they kill other animals & skin them for this privilege?

I get physically ill when the temperature gets too high above 70. The most I'd do is let my dog in the yard where they can choose when they're done being outside.

Oh they werk it even when they're on the verge of a heat stroke. It's true. Y'all know it.

Thank you. So many people say “ it’s a dog they live outside”. I replied “!they due outside also.

Oh my goodness this is the best thank you

My dog was pretty smart…she didn’t play around in heat and if it was too hot we were heading home!

And do not lock your dog in a car!

But true!

Lol yes

Which is why I walk my dog between 6-7 am.

Great sign. Close to where I live tourist come in droves over the summer and their dogs paws get torched because of their “owners” stupidity. My little neighborhood buys dog booties, & makes up flyers we hand out & give to beach patrols and other law enforcement. The kids can scream, the dogs can’t.

Perfect.

But refrain from sniffing the backsides of passersby surely

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I think dog owners should have to be barefoot when they walk their dogs on hot concrete, asphalt, etc.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🐶

Mexican. She was born in Tijuana. And she’s a chihuahua, which are well suited to heat as a breed.

yes👍🏻

couldn't put it better myself

I love this!!
