How likely is overheating inside?
What about it?
I'm from south of Europe and we're experiencing a harsh heat wave and temperatures are expected to go above 40 degrees (above 105 F) for the next few days. Older building in Europe means we have no AC.
We have multiple fans running pretty much 24/7, a couple directed towards our bed and the floor where our 11mo corgi likes to sleep. However even I feel like we can't breathe. Inside the apartment it can get as high as 28 degrees. He has a cooling mat, constant fresh water with ice cubes inside, we keep curtains drawn to block the sun etc and I try to put a cold towel on him as often as I can. I'm still worried it will get too hot to bear for a few days.
Realistically, how likely is for a dog to overheat inside with cold water and shade available? What about overnight? His coat is quite long and I'm not sure how cold he can keep himself even on tiled floor.
I looked up at portable AC but with our small rooms and older windows idk how installation would be, and with a sudden 3k expense in the last week if we can avoid the few hundreds it would be definitely best. We are going away on holiday in the mountains in 10 days with blessed AC, just wondering how worried we should be for inside.
