3. Slow response, no response to the owner’s shouts or very slow response.

Measures to prevent heatstroke in dogs:
1. Avoid activities in strong sunlight. Even after 4 pm, you should move slowly in the shade of trees and avoid excessive running.
2. When going out for activities, bring plenty of drinking water for your dog and replenish it from time to time. Drinking enough water is a good way to prevent heatstroke.
3. When taking your dog out, you must never leave your dog alone in a car, even for a short period of time.
4. For long-haired dogs and dogs with thick coats, the hair should be shaved to improve heat dissipation (the hair of some dogs is used for heat insulation and cannot be shaved).
5. Obese dogs should pay attention to losing weight, because obese dogs produce high amounts of heat in hot weather and are more likely to suffer from heatstroke.
