you should use fans, and supply a lot of water, if this is not possible..he should be boarded at the vet until your air is fixed... a dog can withstand a body temp of up to 107, before brain damage will occur, of course you do not want him to get this warm! cool, wet towels may also help

You need to make sure pup is hydrated if the heat has to be stood. Put him in the tub with a couple inches of cold water and some ice to help keep his body temp down. He can get sick and suffer heat stroke, just like people do. Put some ice in his water dish. Rub him down with cold compresses and see if there is an air conditioned dog care facility to have him stay tomorrow till your ac is back up and running. He is still young enough to be effected by the heat worse then if he were grown. You can also call your vet if he gets worse. Some dogs really do not do well in heat, just like some people.

Make sure you have plenty of fresh water for him. And if he looks a bit over heated wrap in a cool wet towel for a bit or put him in the tub with cool water. You may want to make sure you at least have a fan going for air movement. Hope you get the ac fixed tomorrow I know it is supposed to be hotter here tomorrow then it was today!

Obviously it would have to be a non-alcoholic beer, because your bulldog is well under 21 -- if he lives to be 21 (calendar) years, then you could offer him some beer. Among the nonalcoholic beers, Kaliber ranks the highest in taste tests, but you could try him on Sharp's or O'Douls.

He'll probably make it, however, you will need to get him cooler as soon as possible. Short haired dogs don't handle extreme heat or cold very well and that is why they are indoor dogs. If you are uncomfortable then so is he. Just make sure you have a fan blowing and plenty of cool water.

I suggest you purchase a small fan, and keep him with plenty of water. Every once in awhile take a cool cloth and wipe him down a bit. He should be fine.

It may be cooler for him outside, if thats not an option get a few window fans to suck the heat out and bring cooler air in.

Wet him down and keep a fan blowing on him or get him to a friend's house or even a motel room with A/C

yes he can try making him him a wet bed and keep plenty of water with ice near bye so he doesnt dehygrate
a wet bed is a blanket just damp enough to keep his body temp down

No, they can overheat and die, do what you need to to keep him cool, even if you need to go to a motel for the night, this is serious, good luck
