If you own a Brachycephalic (short-faced) dog like a Pekingese, Bulldog, Boxer, Japanese Chin, Pug, Boston Terrier, or Shih-Tzu, please be extra careful when walking them in the summer heat. Brachycephalic dogs do not pant as effectively as long-nosed dogs and can become over-heated much more quickly. Limit their time in the heat and exercise them indoors as much as possible.
