🚨 Understanding the Dangers of Heatstroke in Pets

Heatstroke poses severe risks to our furry friends. If left untreated, it can lead to:

1️⃣ Organ Failure: Elevated body temperature can harm vital organs.
2️⃣ Brain Damage: Heat stress can impact cognitive functions.
3️⃣ Seizures: Excessive heat may trigger seizures in pets.
4️⃣ Coma or Death: In extreme cases, untreated heatstroke can be fatal.

Prevention is key! Keep them cool, hydrated, and never underestimate the impact of rising temperatures on your pets well-being. 🌡️🐶🐱
