My little one year old Jack Russell Terrier lives outside. it is maybe 107F outsidee should i bring her in?

Answer 1

Not a bad idea, if not then make sure she has plenty of fresh water and shade.

My mother even bought her dogs one of those little kiddie wading pools for her dogs and they are indoor dogs with central air conditioning.

You can get one of those rigid plastic kiddie wading pools for less than $10. at a department store or toy store.

Answer 2

Yes, animals can suffer and die from heat stroke just like a human can. If it was an eight year old child sitting in 107 degree heat in your neighbor's yard, would you call child services? Likewise, the humane society might be contacted for cruelty if you do not shelter your dog from the heat. Heat stroke is characterized with sluggish movement, passing out, short, panting breaths, and even turns into vomiting and stomach symptoms, as it often is accompanied with dehydration.

Even if he has his own little shed that he can hide from the sun in, he would need constant access to cold water and it would be safest to keep him out of the sun from 10 in the morning until 4 pm, when the sun is hottest.

Answer 3

Gosh, do ya think??!?!

For the love of Pete, people, think for a moment! Should my dogs eat only crap junkfood and nothing else? Can they be happy when its so hot outside that I can barely go out? Should I make them have babies when they aren't much more than babies themselves? Can second hand smoke hurt my dog?

Dogs are animals. Humans are animals. Dogs have nervous systems, hearts, lungs, livers, and intenstines. So do humans. Dogs have certain biological needs that are pretty much the same as humans: the right temperature, good nutritious food, plenty of water, basic medical care and a healthy environment. The same things that will kill a human (heat stroke, cancer, liver and kidney disease, heart disease, dehydration, malnutrition) will kill a dog too.

This is not rocket science, folks. Just basic biology.

Answer 4

Yes. I have to wonder why you have a dog, a member of the family, and you leave it alone outside most of the time? That's plain cruel, especially since dogs are pack animals and you are his pack. Get a doggie door put in and let the poor thing be an indoor dog and part of the family or give him to someone who will.

Answer 5

How would you like to have to stay ourside when it's that damn hot out?
Common sense should tell you that she should have been in for hours already.
Make sure that when you do bring her in that she has plenty of cold fresh water and keep it that way too.
Why do you have her outside anyway? Don't you care about her at all?
If she's a member of the family she should be inside with the rest of the family too.
Now go and let her in and give her plenty of cold fresh water and she how she says "I love you too."

Answer 6

Yes! I know someone that had an EX spouse that insisted on keeping a Beagle outside in 100 degree weather. The dog was dead of heat exhaustion when they came back later that day.

Answer 7

Yes. If that dog dies from heat exhuastion or heat stroke, you can be held responsible for animal neglect & abuse. If you watch Animal Planet's Animal Cops, that offense is punishable by up to 3 years in jail and/or a fine. Bring the dog inside where it's cool. Offer her fresh water & drop some ice cubes in it. She might play with them or lick them.

Answer 8

Yes, if you can. They have mostly white hair and can become sunburned. Does she have plenty of FRESH water, and shelter from the sun? If she must stay out get her a mister that can cool her down. You can also put sunscreen on her to help her skin. But if you can bring her in, I would do so in a heart beat.Walmart has misters in their lawn and garden dept,

Answer 9

Yes!Dogs can't stay out in heat like that it can kill them(even if they have water)Jacks are very hyper and can get heat stroke VERY easily.If you don't want him in your house tearing thngs up lock him in the bathroom just get him out of the heat.I would give him a bath to cool him down right when you get him inside, make sure his nose is wet if it isn't try to get him to drink some water.

Answer 10

of course your dog would rather be inside, but as long as he has plenty of shade and plenty of fresh water he will be ok. we had a jack russell terrier when i was a kid and he stayed outside 99% of the time and he lived to be very old.

Answer 11

Bring that dog inside right now!! How would you like it? Thats too hot for a dog, especially such a small one, to be outside. Its not good to make dogs live outside anyway. THey are pack animals, and isolating them to a backyard is cruel!!
