How do you treat dog heatstroke?
Move to a cool, airy place, fan it, put ice on armpits, neck and belly or wipe with alcohol to cool. Severe: rinse with room-temperature (not cold) water — cold shocks the heart. Check temperature every 5 minutes; if not normal, go to the vet.

What is the correct way to treat dog heatstroke?
Move to shade and ventilation, rinse with room-temperature water, apply an ice pack wrapped in cloth to the forehead to cool. Give cooling medicine; if severe, give saline for fluids then rush to a vet for heart stimulants. Dogs sweat little and overheat easily — avoid walks in heat and keep water up.
