For the test, dogs ran on a treadmill for 30 minutes at 12.5 km\/h and a 2.5% incline, with room temperature maintained between 21 and 22\u2009\u00b0C and the relative humidity maintained between 64% and 65.6%. A wet bulb globe thermometer was used to evaluate the immediate environment. In the first test, 6 method groups were assessed based on the cooling method implemented. The groups were no cooling, ingestion of ice water, cooling blanket use, use of a fan, or the application of alcohol or water to glabrous skin areas. In this test, rectal temperature, core temperature, heart rate, and respiratory rate were measured. In a second test, a fan was added to the water and alcohol methods from test 1, and the values were compared to the test 1 values.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sc_a3\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The sample included 12 Labrador Retrievers.
