AN HBR TIP:
Do
not
use ice, iced water, or extremely cold water when attempting to cool the body of an over-heated dog. Doing so can cause cardiac arrest. The super cold water also causes blood vessels to constrict, which slows down the cooling process. It is much more effective and safe to use 'cool' water to hose down the dog. Keep the dog on its feet and slowly walk if possible. This keeps the cooled blood circulating, and also allows air to circulate around its body. Please stay safe in the summer time heat!
