| Extreme summer heat – like we’ve been experiencing throughout much of the country in recent weeks – can cause heat exhaustion, heat stroke or even sudden death. Heat stroke is a form of hypothermia in which the body cannot accommodate excessive external heat. Dogs do not sweat through their skin like humans do. | | | | They release heat by panting and sweating through their paw pads and nose. If that cooling process cannot work efficiently enough, their body temperatures begin to rise. Severe damage begins to occur when their body temperatures reach 106° and death will occur at 110°. Heatstroke in dogs has a mortality rate of 50%. Signs of heat stroke include heavy panting, rapid heartbeat, glazed eyes, disorientation, difficulty breathing, excessive salivation, vomiting and seizures. There are many things that pet owners can do to help prevent heat stroke in dogs. Never leave your pet in a parked car, even if you are only going to be away for a few minutes. Always keep your pet well hydrated, with plenty of water. Limit exercise when temperatures soar and never muzzle your dog as it restricts their ability to pant. And avoid walking dogs on hot surfaces like asphalt and cement. | | | Another way to help keep pets safely cool this summer is with the new line of comfort harnesses from curli, featuring the company’s proprietary air-mesh technology. Built into every one of its superior-quality harnesses, curli air mesh harnesses provide a long-lasting cooling effect when immersed in water. The water is stored between layers of mesh that act as a heat exchanger – keeping your dog comfortably cool even in the hottest summer weather. And while other harnesses on the market may offer mesh materials, curli’s air mesh harnesses are uniquely designed, with thicker air mesh fibers and superior quality materials, allowing them to retain more water and provide superior cooling for extended periods of time. curli air-mesh harnesses also feature a second layer of material on the back of the harness that helps retain moisture and further enhance comfort and stability. | | Help keep you customers’ pets healthy, happy and comfortably cool this summer with curli premium pet harnesses, the safest and most comfortable way to walk and restrain your pets.
