It can pose a danger to your pet to let them run around on the hot grass.
Dr Samantha Webster, vet at Joii Pet Care, previously issued a warning to dog owners not to walk their pooches in the mid-day sun but instead go early in the morning or later at night when it has cooled down. Now, the vet has issued another warning to anyone who has artificial grass in their gardens.
Animal Friends Pet Insurance, who partnered with Dr Wesbster, said that the cost of treating an animal with sunstroke exceeded £400 last year. Data has shown the most at risk breeds are bull breeds, labradors and terriers. "To keep cool, they expel heat by panting but as temperatures begin to rise, it becomes harder for the dog to cool down by panting as they are drawing in warmer air than they are releasing. Their fur coats add to this problem by retaining heat and preventing heat loss. Your dog is most at risk of sunstroke when exercising on hot days. If your dog is experiencing sunstroke, there are some clear tell-tale signs to look out for.
