Move the dog to a shaded and cool area. Immediately pour cool water over the dog. Tap water has been found to be the most effective at cooling dogs with heat-related illnesses. In a true emergency, any water is better than nothing. Allow the dog to drink small amounts of cool water. Continue to pour cool water over the dog until their breathing starts to settle, but not too much that they start shivering. Throughout the treatment of heatstroke try to avoid pouring water on or near your dog's head, as there is a risk of them inhaling water which could lead to drowning, especially for flat-faced and unconscious dogs. Once the dog is cool, take them to the nearest vet as a matter of urgency.

If your pet is mildly overheated, splash cool water or use cool towels on their body, particularly on their neck, belly, armpits, and paws. Do not use freezing cold or ice water, as this can cause their blood vessels to constrict and cause their body to go into shock. Bring your pet into a room with air conditioning, or position a fan near them to help with slow cooling. You can also use cooling treats like ice cubes or a frozen kong toy. If you think your pet is suffering from heatstroke, place cool wet towels on their body to cool them gradually and take them to the nearest emergency vet immediately. Stay away from frozen treats like ice cubes if your pet is experiencing heatstroke. The goal here is to cool the pet gently rather than suddenly.
