I just read this article about the dangers of heat stroke:
http://dogs.suite101.com/article.cfm/dogs_and_heat_stroke
And now it has me worried about the fact that I take water away from my dog at night (between her last walk in the evening and her first walk in the morning).
We live in a fairly hot climate with a golden retriever. Should she be allowed to drink water all night?
No problems yet, but we just got her house trained not too long ago and I don't want to create a situation where she can't hold it in before her morning walk... at the same time I don't want her to overheat in the summer!
On a related note, is there a way I can give her water in the car without creating a big mess?
