Dogsafe's Heatstroke Awareness & Responder Network
At Dogsafe, we're taking a different approach to canine heatstroke.
As a Vancouver police constable, I responded to dogs in hot cars scenarios and often found chaotic scenes fueled with emotions. I understand. Completely. Adrenaline will be high when responding to any canine first aid situation --especially dogs in hot cars-- but if we strive for a calm manner (we know it's hard, but try!), it will be easier to connect with people and ultimately help their dogs. Now, as a civilian, I have talked to hundreds of people in parking lots about dogs in their cars and a calm approach has always been a better and faster way to reach my goal -- to help the dog. And if the dog is in need of immediate care, we need to get calm (our Responder Checklist will help!) so we can (1) help the dog, and (2) document our actions, which may assist in a potential criminal investigation and lead to a conviction. We're striving for long-term change. If you resonate with our approach, download, use and share share share our Heatstroke Awareness & Responder Network resources... everything is free ... our paid online eLearning courses help support our free programs! Thank you for helping us, help dogs, worldwide. |
