Huskies and other thick-coated breeds are prone to overheating in hot weather. To keep her safe, avoid exercise during the hottest parts of the day, ideally walking her early morning or late evening. Provide constant access to fresh, cool water and shade. Consider cooling vests, elevated dog beds, or even a shallow kiddie pool for her to splash in. Never leave her in a parked car, even for a few minutes. Watch for signs of heatstroke like excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, or collapsing, which require immediate veterinary attention. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
