The hot weather in Thailand affects not only people but also poses a danger to pets like dogs and cats, especially in homes that accumulate high heat or homes that lack good ventilation. The hotter the house… the higher the risk of heat stroke (Heat Stroke) which can be life-threatening.
What is heat stroke and why is it dangerous in hot homes?
Heat stroke is a condition where the body cannot dissipate heat quickly enough, causing an abnormal rise in body temperature.
Main causes in homes
- Homes accumulate heat from walls and roofs.
- House paint absorbs heat.
- Poor air circulation.
Especially homes that use exterior paint that does not help reflect heat will make the inside of the house significantly hotter by several degrees.
How to observe symptoms of heat stroke in people and pets
Heat stroke in people
- Dizziness, feeling faint.
- Homes exposed to direct sunlight.
- Homes with pets.
- Homes that want to reduce electricity bills.

- Fatigue or loss of consciousness.
Heat stroke in pets

If you notice these symptoms, you must provide immediate assistance
How to cope when heat stroke occurs
Basic first aid methods

- Give water to drink (if still conscious)
And quickly take to a doctor or veterinarian
A common overlooked cause: “Hot house”
Many people take good care of themselves and their pets but “forget to take care of the house” because the house is the main source of heat accumulation, or you could say it is the primary factor in heat accumulation, as the house is the main source of heat accumulation
Common problems
- House walls retain heat
- House paint absorbs heat
- House remains hot even with the fan on

FAQ Frequently Asked Questions about heatstroke in dogs and cats (pets)
Q1: Can a hot house really cause pets to suffer from heatstroke?
A1: Yes, especially in homes with poor ventilation or high heat accumulation. Pets will have a harder time dissipating heat, making them more susceptible to heatstroke than humans.
Q2: Does house paint really help reduce heat?
A2: Yes, it does. House paint with heat-reflective properties can lower wall temperatures and make the home cooler.
Q3: What type of exterior paint is suitable for hot weather?
A3: You should choose exterior paint that reflects UV and reduces heat absorption to prevent heat accumulation in the house.
Q4: What type of home is BegerCool 2in1 suitable for?
A4: It is suitable for homes exposed to strong sunlight, hot houses, or homes with pets that need to reduce heat and increase comfort.
Q5: How can I prevent heatstroke at home?
A5: In addition to taking care of the body, you should reduce heat in the house, such as using heat-reducing paint and improving ventilation.
Q6: Does a cooler home really help reduce electricity bills?
A6: Yes, because when the home is cooler, the air conditioning works less, resulting in reduced energy consumption.
