When a Cavalier is Panting , is a Hot Dog,this has been said about Cavaliers at last week's Eof E Show, what is happening ,the Cavalier is Hot, the Brain is sending signals to different parts of the Body.
Their Heart and Lungs will have to work Harder
Because our Cavaliers are known as BRACHYCEPHALIC Dogs ,
THESE DOGS NEED SPECIAL CARE IN HOT WEATHER because they can over-heat quickly ,and this can be Fatal
Those Dogs have Short Noses so the Air being Breathed does'nt cool so well before it reaches the Lungs .
They have to Pant more ,less air is Passing in due to Shorter Muzzle Length and out ,and these Types of Dogs can quickly become Over-Heated and in Trouble.
Also those when those Types of Dogs are too Hot and Panting ,A Foamy Phlegm can be Produced in the Throat making it harder to Breath , Air-Ways can become Inflamed and Swollen leading to Further Difficulties Breathing and Distress.
Owners of a BRACHYCEPHALIC Dog ,which is a Cavalier ,will need to be EXTRA CAREFUL in HOT and HUMID WEATHER.
All Cavaliers will be in Cars when travelling to Shows, in Hot Weather , the Question has to be being asked ,do you really have to take your Cavalier to a Show on a Hot or Humid day.
OK, some Cars will have Air Conditioning ,but what happens if you are stuck in a Traffic Jam , or your Car Breaks down, how do you keep your Cavalier cool then.
Most important is to keep your Cavalier from Over-Heating in Hot Weather ,and in the Shade , this is not possible when Cavaliers are being Shown in the Full Sunlight in Hot Weather.
Cavaliers are far better suited suited to being Indoors when it's Hot ,in a Ventilated,Cool Room.
I have taken this information from the Internet, so have not made it up to suit my Argument about Cavaliers being affected and what can happen to them in Hot Weather.
