style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Summer hasn&#8217;t even fully started yet, but the asphalt on the street is hot. The fan is on, maybe the air conditioner too. Everything seems normal&#8230; until your dog starts panting abnormally. Or your always curious and active cat suddenly curls up under the bed and doesn&#8217;t even bother to look.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">This is where the confusion usually begins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Some pet owners think their animal is just tired. Some give it water and wait. Others realize too late that the issue is not just &#8220;the heat of the air&#8221;; it is heat stroke in dogs and cats. A problem that can sometimes put an animal in a dangerous situation in less than an hour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The reality is that dogs and cats&#8217; bodies don&#8217;t work like human bodies. They almost don&#8217;t sweat and their ability to cool their bodies is more limited. So, heat that might be just a nuisance for us can become a crisis for a pet. Especially in a turned-off car, on a hot balcony, on a summer afternoon walk, or even in a poorly ventilated house. Every summer, humans rediscover that \u201cjust five minutes in the car\u201d wasn\u2019t such a great idea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">In this article, we\u2019re not going to list just a few general signs. We\u2019re going to take a closer look at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">What are the signs of heatstroke in dogs and cats?<\/li>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">When does it become a serious risk?<\/li>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">What should you do at home?<\/li>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">What mistakes can make things worse?<\/li>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">And how to prevent heatstroke in pets?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_exactly_is_heatstroke_in_dogs_and_cats\"><\/span>What exactly is heatstroke in dogs and cats?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Heatstroke in dogs and cats occurs when an animal\u2019s body temperature gets too high and the body can no longer cool itself. It\u2019s not just \u201coverheating.\u201d In severe cases, internal organs begin to fail.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The normal body temperature of dogs and cats is usually between \u06f3\u06f8 and \u06f3\u06f9 degrees Celsius. When this temperature reaches the dangerous range, especially above \u06f4\u06f0 to \u06f4\u06f1 degrees Celsius, heat stroke in dogs or serious injury in cats is possible.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">The problem is that heatstroke in dogs and cats can sometimes progress very quickly. The animal may be only slightly lethargic at first, but suddenly develop severe weakness, vomiting, or even seizures.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_do_some_animals_get_heatstroke_more_quickly\"><\/span>Why do some animals get heatstroke more quickly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10252\" src=\"http:\/\/drmhasghari.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/18.5.jpg\" alt=\"\u0633\u06af \u0648 \u06af\u0631\u0628\u0647 \u062f\u0631 \u0645\u062d\u06cc\u0637 \u062e\u0646\u06a9 \u062a\u0627\u0628\u0633\u062a\u0627\u0646\u06cc \u06a9\u0646\u0627\u0631 \u0638\u0631\u0641 \u0622\u0628 \u062a\u0627\u0632\u0647\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drmhasghari.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/18.5.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/drmhasghari.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/18.5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drmhasghari.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/18.5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drmhasghari.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/18.5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Not all pets tolerate heat equally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Short-haired and short-faced breeds are more at risk<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Dogs like pugs, French bulldogs, and shih tzus breathe more difficultly due to their respiratory structure. This can be dangerous when the weather gets hot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">On the other hand, furry breeds like huskies and some long-haired cats are also more prone to heatstroke in dogs and cats in the summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Being overweight plays a role<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Obese animals tend to have a harder time dissipating heat. Many may not take this seriously, but being overweight is not just a matter of appearance. In extreme heat, it can be the difference between a manageable situation and a real emergency.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\">Age also plays a role<\/li>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Puppies and kittens<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Senior pets<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Pets with heart or respiratory disease<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Typically, dogs and cats develop heatstroke more quickly.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_symptoms_of_heatstroke_in_dogs_and_cats\"><\/span>What are the symptoms of heatstroke in dogs and cats?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">This is perhaps the most important part of the entire article. Because in the real world, heatstroke in dogs and cats usually does not start with a dramatic scene. Most of the time, it comes on quietly and quietly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The pet owner thinks:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u201cHe\u2019s just tired.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">\u201cIt\u2019s hot, it\u2019s normal for him to be panting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">\u201cHe\u2019ll be fine now if he rests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">And it\u2019s precisely these few minutes of hesitation that sometimes make the situation more dangerous.<\/p>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">When the animal enters the heatstroke phase, the body is struggling to lower its internal temperature. If it doesn\u2019t succeed, the brain, heart, kidneys, and respiratory system begin to become stressed. That\u2019s why recognizing the early signs is so crucial.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Early_Signs_of_Heatstroke_in_Dogs_and_Cats\"><\/span>Early Signs of Heatstroke in Dogs and Cats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">In the early stages, the animal is still alert, but its body is clearly giving warning.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"direction: ltr;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heavy_panting_in_dogs\"><\/span>Heavy panting in dogs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"direction: ltr;\">Unlike humans, dogs do not sweat.
