That is so sad that your pets died...my heart goes out to you. As to dogs, it is very important you provide a shade for your dog if it is outside in your back yard. Be careful of dogs that are housed in kennels/cages because depending on the roof, it can be hot if it doesn't deflect the heat. I have already heard of several dogs dying in Cebu because of the heat and because they were in kennels (cages). If keeping a dog in a cage/kennel is your only solution, and it doesn't have the heat deflecting roof, a quick and cheap remedy is to get styrofoam, wrap foil on top of it, place it under the metal roof allowing space (approx 1 to 2 inches) between the roof and the foil.

Added things to do to keep you dogs cool: 1. have a pan so that they can soak their paws; the dogs cool through their paws; 2. Always feel their nose and ears; one of my pits got overheated in the States during the summer; I noticed he was weak and when I felt his nose and ears it was very warm. I immediately got a toalita (wash clothe) and soaked it in cold water; I then placed it on his head and the rest of his body; the temperature went down; 3. If your dog likes water, have a big palanggana with cool water outdoors so the dog can soak and cool off; change the water often as bacteria can build up; 4. Change their water bowl often and put ice in their water; you may want to give them ice if they like it; 5. The best is to keep them in the house if you can...i.e. in your lanai, indoor garage if the floor is cool, in the house; have a fan circulating the air as much as possible;

I hope these suggestions help. Condolences again for your loss.
