Hello from DallasDogLife!
Happy Friday! The Dallas temperatures are quickly rising but don't let that stop you from exercising with your dog. Just be careful to watch your pup for any sign of heat distress such as heavy panting, hyperventilation, increased salivation, dry gums, weakness, and/or confusion. Carry a bottle of water with you if you plan to be outdoors in hot weather for extended periods of time. And never, EVER leave your dog in a parked car, not even with the windows partially open. Temperatures inside a parked car can reach fatal conditions, even if it doesn't feel that hot to you outside.
