Find shade regularly throughout the day to let your dog cool down and don't forget to offer fresh, cool water for your dog to drink very often during the day. We have plenty of water stations around site, but we do recommend bringing your own water and bowl or bottle for your dog as well. In very hot conditions you could bring with you wet, cold towels or a cool mat for your dog to sit on.
Avoid hot pavements which can burn the pads on your dog's paws and instead walk on grass.
As much as we'd love to see you and your dogs at Goodwoof, we would ask you to consider leaving young, old or vulnerable dogs safely at home if the weather is hot.
We recommend for you to bring an umbrella to the event to protect yourself and your dog from the typical British weather. This will be useful if it is raining to keep you dry, but will also provide shade in the event of warmer weather conditions.
If your dog shows signs of heat exhaustion (excessive panting, difficulty breathing, drooling, lethargic, drowsy, uncoordinated or vomiting), please contact the site vet on 01243 939723.
