Animals do not perspire like humans and can overheat quickly.
Extreme heatstroke can result in brain damage or death.
A little common sense, however, can minimize the chances of serious incident. Within minutes, interior temperatures can soar to lethal levels. Animals kept outdoors should have access to shade and fresh water. You can make a temporary shelter by placing a blanket over wooden crates or lawn furniture. Limit exercise and play periods to the cooler times of the day.
