It was in May that I decided to drive to the south with canned food. The May sunshine in Beijing was warm, the flowers were red and the willows were green, and the climate was very comfortable. I looked forward to the comfortable scenery and temperature in the south, so I left. However, several times on the way, the car showed that the outdoor temperature was as high as 38 degrees Celsius, and we realized that the daytime in the south of this season was not suitable for the cans with double back hair, so we adjusted the rhythm of the journey and the way to play, so that the cans could spend every day of the journey comfortably. Here I also share my method with you.
Tips to avoid heatstroke
1. Pay attention to the time and place of dog walking.
Most of the time, we drive on the road. With the air conditioner on in the car, we can't feel the heat outside. If we want to go somewhere to play on the way, we will choose the grass or a shady place to avoid burning our paws on the open cement floor, so that people are not hot and dogs are not very hot.
The time to walk the can is basically before eight o'clock in the morning and after eight o'clock in the evening. The rising sun in the morning will not be too strong. The sun can also be good for the skin and hair of the can. The sun will not grow worms. At night, when the sun goes down, it is not hot, and the dog will naturally be very comfortable. Walking more can also make it relax and have a good sleep.
2. Pack light
When traveling in autumn and winter, I will carry a small schoolbag for the canned food, which contains some picking-up bags, combs and so on, and take my own luggage. When traveling in summer, I will choose a more comfortable and light chest and back for the canned food, which is easy to wear and take off, and then hang a picking-up bag. The light luggage will not make the canned food feel stuffy. There are not many people, and I will untie my chest and back in a safer place, so that I can relax and run. The stream is a good choice to cool and relieve the heat.
Chest and back, you can choose a light one according to the situation of your own children. Canned Ma Ma is a loyal fan of K9 and Ruff. There are only two brands of chest and back at home. Canned summer wear Ruff light hi chest and back more, very light, suitable for hot summer. Covered by the tins of fur, it feels like nothing to wear.
3. Replenishment of water
If you really want to go out during the day, you must pay attention to the water supply on the road. When we were in Chengdu, because the distance was not too far, we planned to walk from the hotel to the wide and narrow alleys. On the way, we hid on the cement floor and walked slowly. Every ten minutes, we would feed the cans and drink water (if the dog didn't drink, we didn't have to force it). Take a portable small bowl, convenient to replenish at any time on the way, in order to help the canned cool down, I usually buy a bottle of ice mineral water mixed with a little water at room temperature, it likes to drink very much. But after all, the stomach is fragile, ice water should be less, about the ratio of 7:3 at room temperature.
If the ground conditions are not controllable, there is another way, that is, to use a pet cart to push it. But try to choose a cool place.
What Canned Mama wants to say
Have you mastered these three points in traveling? Summer travel, avoid dog heatstroke is so simple, no matter how hot the day is not afraid. We traveled for more than 20 days, and we were healthy and happy every day. We played outside for a day, and went back to the hotel to have a good sleep with air conditioning, so that we could continue to set out on the road.
