I have a half Pit/ half Lab Dog. I was wondering how long you should keep them outside in 100+ degree weather?

He tends to love laying out in the hot sun, and i was wondering if it is safe to let him lay out in the hot heat for long periods of time.

Leave them out in 100 degree heat for long periods of time? Only if you want them to suffer from heat exhaustion.

Just make sure that as soon as he wants to come in, you let him come in. He should be fine and come inside before anything serious happens (unless he is just a stupid dog). Also, this is a MUST: Put a bowl of water outside in the shade near him. Dogs have to have water at all times, and if he doesn't, he may get dehydrated laying outside in the sun/heat.

I hope i helped!!

When it's really hot here my dogs are only allowed out long enough to stretch their legs and do their business. Sometimes, if it cools down a bit, I let them play outside in the evening about an hour and a half after they eat their last meal.

If he wants to, then by all means let him. My Mini Pin does the same thing.
Just make sure that he always knows where his water is, and that there's always water available when he comes back in.
Oh yeah, and make sure you watch him. If he wants to come in, let him in.

As long as he has a bucket of fresh cold water, or a swimming pool, then i would say a couple of hours if he is used to the heat. Just watch him and if he starts to act overheated get him inside immediately. I wouldn't leave him outside in that heat if you were not home though. If you have to go to work or run errands I would definitely bring him inside.

We all love spending the long, sunny days of summer outdoors with our furry companions, but being overeager in hot weather can spell danger! Even the healthiest pets can suffer from dehydration, heat stroke and sunburn if overexposed to the heat.

Pets can get dehydrated quickly, so give them plenty of fresh, clean water when it's hot outdoors. Make sure your pets have a shady place to get out of the sun, be careful to not over-exercise them, and keep them indoors when it's extremely hot.

Symptoms of overheating in pets include excessive panting or difficulty breathing, increased heart and respiratory rate, drooling, mild weakness, stupor or even collapse. They can also include seizures, bloody diarrhea and vomit along with an elevated body temperature of over 104 degrees." Animals with flat faces, like Pugs and Persian cats, are more susceptible to heat stroke since they cannot pant as effectively. These pets, along with the elderly, the overweight, and those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.

No, it's not.

I live in central TX, so I know what your weather conditions are like. I still walk my dogs and let them be outside, but not for long periods of time. Don't leave them out for longer than 45 min-1 hour. Always have fresh water available. Make sure you keep checking on them, and bring them in earlier if they need to.

You should only keep him out to go to the bathroom and that's it. You have to remember that animals have a fur coat on. Imagine going out side right not with your cloths on and a fur coat on. That's how your dog feels. If a dog stays out to long then it could get heat stroke then really bad things could happen.

Oh please people, he's asking if it's okay to let the dog VOLUNTARILY stay out in the hot sun for as long as it WANTS to.

If the dog gets too hot he will come back in. Watch him carefully. 100 degrees is not a f*cking furnace of death and heat stroke. He will be fine.
