‘Heat stroke’ is a term commonly used to mean an unusually high body temperature. When talking about domestic animals, this usually means a body temperature of above 39.4°C (103°F). A dog’s life is at risk when their body temperature is above 41.2°C (107°F). Heat stroke can cause loss of consciousness and multiple organ failure, resulting in death if not treated.
