Professional dog walker Kim says she wants to reach out to other dog owners to warn them of the dangers
A healthy dog has died from heatstroke despite his owner following the rules around heatstroke in pets.
Kim, 24, said: "I had no idea a dog could die when they were simply enjoying an hour in the garden in the shade. I've worked with dogs all of my life, I have worked in rescue and rehoming and I'm a professional dog walker. "I took Bruno into the sitting room and held him in my arms. After an hour or more I thought to take his temperature and even at that stage it was sky high. He had died of heat stroke, he had died while lying in the shade in our garden.
"There is so much online about not walking dogs in the heat, but I never knew just a bit of sun out in the garden could be fatal to dogs. Brachycephalic dog breeds like French Bulldogs are more likely to suffer heat stroke than any other dog and I knew that.
