After what feels like an eternity (and is in fact just under 2 years!) we can FINALLY share the first set of results from our Hot Dogs VetCompass project – exploring the risk factors, incidence and fatality of heat-related illness in UK dogs.
The paper is fully open access, so you can either view it on-line here:

Or download the PDF here:
Incidence and risk factors for heat-related illness (heatstroke) in UK dogs under primary veterinary care in 2016Download
We have a conversation article that summarises the key findings available here: https://theconversation.com/nine-dog-breeds-at-higher-risk-of-heatstroke-and-what-you-can-do-to-prevent-it-139501
Or, for the super short version, check out our infographic, designed by Becky – www.PawPrintsPosters.com
