When it comes to caring for a dog, most pet parents focus on what to feed it. However, in fact, the maintenance of dogs is not only about "eating". The last article talked about keeping dogs warm and keeping out the cold. This article, Dr. E, will tell you about the prevention and elimination of summer heat by dogs.
The dog's summer heat prevention
In the hot summer, the dog's heatstroke prevention and cooling work will be put on the agenda again.
1 summer summer prevention strategy for dogs
(1) walk the dog to cool
Walking the dog should choose a cool morning or evening, and avoid taking the dog out at noon or high temperature in the afternoon.
(2) Don't stay in the car
Do not leave the dog in a closed car. In the summer sun, the temperature in the car rises sharply in a short period of time, and the dog is prone to heatstroke.
(3) equipment should be prepared when going out
The road is too hot in summer, it is easy for dogs to burn when they step on it, and the claw cream can protect the dog's paws. Water is a great weapon to relieve summer heat. Be sure to prepare enough when you go out.
