Good Afternoon All,
I have a couple of questions. I noticed on another thread people asking about cooling collars and pools. Do you think a pool would help? We were considering getting one for Athena and Ty to play in . But then last week Athena went down with a seizure on us. The vet said it was from heat stroke. Shocked me because we are real adiment that the dogs are not outside for more than 10 or 15 minutes at a time because of the heat. As a matter of fact we have been taking them for their walks at midnight 1 o'clock in the morning just so we are going out when it is cooler. The vet said no more walks, no more play outside nothing till it cools down in the fall. We are to let Athena out to potty and then have to bring her right back in. He said because Ty is an Olde English he can be out for a little longer.
So I guess my questions are, if I put a cooling collar on her can she be out for more than 5 minutes at a time. Just feels like we are punishing her and she just wants to go out and lay in the grass. And a pool? We would really love to get one and let her play in it. But do you really think it will be safe?
Thanks
