May 28, 2021: Heat-Related Illness Day
Got a dog athlete or even just an active outdoor door he prefers to run around — forget the heat — instead of sitting in the air-conditioned house on his chill dog bed? Introducing Heat Related Illness Day, which is the last Friday in May, when the weather is just warming up and getting humid. Never heard of Heat Related Illness (HRI)? There are two types: non-exertional and exertional. We all know about non-exertional HRI, which dog lovers everywhere have been getting the words out about. Prime example is when a dog is left in a compact space like a car on a hot day with minimal ventilation. The core body temperature heats up, the dog can’t cool down and suffers from heat stress, heat exhaustion and heat stroke — all a type of heat-related illness (HRI). That topic is covered significantly. However, exertional HRI comes from trail running, mountain biking, fly ball and other sport activities with your dog. Originator of sporting and working dog nutrition, pet food company Eukanuba wants to educate more dog lovers about the impact heat and humidity has on their dogs, and how to enjoy the outdoors while keeping dogs safe, generating a significant amount of research to get the word out. Two facts Eukanuba wants you to know: The 140 rule of thumb: Add the ambient temperature to the percent humidity. If it’s more than 140 don’t run your dog too hard. And what kind of dogs suffer the most? Overweight dogs, sedentary dogs called into action, older dogs and dogs that spend most days in air conditioning.
