Alaskan Malamute (Detailed Introduction)

       Taking dogs out to bask in the sun regularly not only promotes their calcium absorption but also kills some bacteria on their bodies, which is very beneficial for dogs’ health. However, everything must be done in moderation. In the hot summer, we cannot let dogs be exposed to the sun alone for long periods. Even if you take them out to enjoy the sun, it should be done during the milder morning hours. Dogs need to pay attention to sun protection in summer.

       1. Choose to take your dog for a walk or exercise during the cool mornings or evenings, avoiding the scorching sunlight.

       2. If your dog is kept outdoors, be sure to have a sunshade, and place the kennel in a shady spot. It is best if both the kennel and sunshade are made of white or light-colored materials that absorb less heat.

       3. When playing at the beach, bring an extra-large beach umbrella to provide your dog with a shaded resting area.

       4. Never leave your dog inside the car on hot days. Even if the windows are slightly open or you only step out for 3 minutes, the car under sunlight is like a large oven, and dogs left inside can easily suffer heatstroke.

       5. When leaving your dog alone indoors, keep the air conditioning on. If there is no AC, make sure to open the windows for ventilation. On hot and stuffy days, it is best to turn on a fan because even indoors, poor air circulation can cause your dog to feel unwell.

       6. Whether indoors or outdoors, your dog’s drinking water should always be easily accessible.

       The summer sun is too strong, so generally, avoid letting your dog be exposed directly to sunlight. Ensure sufficient and fresh drinking water to prevent it from deteriorating and causing your dog discomfort.
