10. Heat Exhaustion in Animals

Animals can also experience heat exhaustion. Small pets like cats and dogs can develop heat exhaustion and then heatstroke within minutes of exposure. Pets should always be left in cool, air-conditioned areas because their bodies are unable to cool like huamsn. Pets are much more likely to go untreated for heat exhaustion and heatstroke symptoms, but the conditions are no less fatal. Proper precautions, such adequate water and cool surroundings, are vital to animals in dangerous heat.
