Every single pet parent in Dubai knows THAT feeling. That feeling of stress and worries creeping up inside you as the temperatures keep climbing and Dubai summer is coming closer and closer.

Tragically, many pets will die due to heat-related deaths in the next few months. UAE veterinarians report an increase in the number of heat strokes in dogs as the summer progresses and “too many dogs are dying of heat exhaustion”. If we are not careful, our dogs could also suffer from heart failure, brain damage and long-term damage to brains and organs due to the stifling heat.
