[Experience Sharing] In the hot summer, to prevent heatstroke, we need to change some habits for dogs

My family has two dogs, one is 6 years old and the other is 3 years old. They have experienced six summers with their dogs. Today, I will share how I make my dogs spend the summer safely in the hot summer. A little habit

A little habit of spending the summer at home

In the hot summer, owners must have a good sense of propriety when walking dogs, otherwise it is easy for dogs to suffer from heatstroke or foot mat injury (the sun shines on the ground, so that the temperature of the ground rises, the cement floor of the ground will be very hot, the dog's soft foot mat on the ground is very vulnerable to injury). My family usually walks the dog from 6 to 7 in the morning when the sun is not fully on the ground, and after 16 in the afternoon when the sun is going down. Walking the dog in the sun is not recommended in the hot summer.

Secondly, the home needs to prepare enough water for the dog, the dog's demand for water in summer is very high, do not cut off water. You can also prepare ice pads for the dog, so that the dog will be much more comfortable. But don't let the dog sleep on the ice pad when you turn on the air conditioner at home or sleep at night, because it's easy for the dog to catch cold. How to prevent dogs from heatstroke when

How to prevent dogs from heatstroke when traveling

Many parents like to take their dogs to travel, and my family also loves to take two dogs to travel. What we fear most in summer is dog heatstroke, so how can we prevent it?

When my family goes out, they must take Xiao Pei's accompanying cup, which can provide enough water for the dog. If the dog doesn't drink, they can take the water back. Don't be afraid of wasting water because the dog doesn't drink. Secondly, when traveling, I strongly suggest that the owners plan their time properly. The temperature in summer is quite high, and the dog is not suitable for traveling during the day. Take the dog to go out to travel, we figure is to change an environment to enjoy, after all, many scenic spots dogs can not enter, so when the sun shines directly on the ground, we can blow air conditioning with the dog in the hotel, and then take the dog to enjoy the beautiful night scenery after the sun goes down, or we can "change the season to travel", avoid the summer, choose the spring and autumn season to go out to travel is also a good choice. So the dog can be outside during the day. My family usually goes out to travel in these two ways, either in spring and autumn, or in summer when the sun goes down. "Never play with your dog's life." Knowing that dogs can die from heatstroke, owners who take their dogs out to travel must think more about their dogs, not just think about playing.

Summer deworming should be done properly and the grass should be rejected.

In summer, many insects begin to become active. Our deworming work must be done in place, which can effectively prevent dogs from being bitten by mosquitoes and ticks. But owners should not think that if they do a good job of deworming, they can let dogs play freely on the grass. Now mosquitoes are very rampant, just like when we spray toilet water, sometimes we are bitten by mosquitoes. Dog deworming can only reduce the frequency of low mosquito bites, but it does not mean that we can absolutely not be bitten by mosquitoes, so we should go to the grass as little as possible in summer.

Sum up

How to let the dog spend the summer safely depends on our owner's careful care. In the hot summer, the water supply for the dog is very important. Secondly, when we travel, we should try our best to ensure the travel time. In fact, if we have time in other seasons, I suggest staying away from the summer.
