Coolchampions™ Greyhound Evaporative Cooling Vests


Health Risks Intensify in Hot Environments!

Each year organizations promote awareness of the health risks associated with heat stress in animals. Yet, in spite of these good intentions, too many animals needlessly succumb to heat related illnesses.
Most greyhound handlers are well versed on the facts and remedies of minor heat illnesses… heat cramps/tetany (painful muscle spasms), heat syncope (fainting) and heat exhaustion. Heat stroke (severe hyperthermia), the most common occurrence following severe exertion in hot weather, is by far the most lethal among all the syndromes experienced by working canines.
In severely dehydrated canines, the cardiovascular system often is affected by decreased blood volume, lack of oxygen in the blood, abnormal coagulation and low blood pressure causing strain on the heart that ultimately results in arrhythmias and cardiogenic shock. The most serious consequence of heat stress is that exacerbation of dehydration and ischemia commonly causes acute renal (kidney) failure. This can be recognized by brown-colored urine.
