I grew up with medium sized and haired dogs in an area of Australia where it regularly gets to 40 celcius (100 farenheit) and the dogs didnt need any cooling. Most animals aclimatise to their area if they are outside enough
40C? 100F?
Most animals under such high heat weather will most likely find the coolest place they can think of, and lay there doing nothing all day until it's better.
Even humans will get into heat stroke if such high temperature persist. Dogs will have a harder time under the same condition due to their less advanced sweat glands which is non-exist beside the tongue. Get an air conditioning lol.
