Dogs can be susceptible to heat exhaustion, which occurs when their body overheats and can no longer regulate its temperature effectively. Symptoms can include vomiting, heavy panting, lethargy, and drooling. It's important to ensure your dog has access to a cool, shaded area and plenty of fresh water.
