8 Things You Can Do to Protect Your Dog in the Summer
As we enter the summer season of the year, we usually think on going to other places to have a break or vacation to lose the stressful days you have on your work, your studies or you just want to have a family bonding or with friends. Eating or drinking something like a smoothie to relieve the hotness of the weather, cooling off or etc.. But we often forgot that we have a pet in our house that needs an extra care especially when it's hot because if we think that the weather is hot for us then so does to your pets especially to those pets who are furry or hairy, and as far as I have remembered there are a lot of cases of dehydration and heat stroke that leads them to death every summer due to the hot weather and lack of water. So to prevent these cases to happen to your pet or your best friend here are some tips to prevent the dehydration or heat stroke for them.
8 Things You Can Do to Protect Your Dog in the Summer
1 Never, ever leave your dog in the car;
2 Make sure your dog has unlimited access to fresh water;
3 Make sure your dog has access to shade when outside;
4 Take walks during the cooler hours of the day;
5 When walking, try to stay off of hot surfaces (like asphalt) because it can burn your dog's paws;
6 If you think it's hot outside, it's even hotter for your pet – make sure your pet has a means of cooling off;
7 Keep your dog free of external parasites (fleas, ticks) and heartworms – consult your veterinarian about the best product for your pet;
8 Consider clipping or shaving dogs with long coats (talk to your veterinarian first to see if it's appropriate for your pet), and apply sunscreen to your dog's skin if she or he has a thin coat.
