Summer is about to arrive. Facing the hot summer season, dog owners must certainly pay attention to the following issues! 1. Prevent heatstroke. Dogs naturally have a higher body temperature than humans, and because they are closer to the ground, their perceived temperature is much higher than we feel.

1. Prevent Heatstroke

Dogs naturally have a higher body temperature than humans, and because they are closer to the ground, their perceived temperature is much higher than we feel. Every year, there are many dog deaths caused by heatstroke, so owners must take good heat prevention measures and try to walk their dogs during the cool temperatures of early morning or evening.

2. Prevent Poisoning

In summer, many communities spray insecticides on plants. Owners must be especially careful not to let dogs play in flower beds and prevent them from eating grass to avoid poisoning.

3. Prevent Parasites

Summer is the season when parasites are highly active. Owners must first deworm their dogs. Also, avoid letting dogs play for extended periods in bushes, lawns, and flower beds where bacteria and parasites easily breed.

4. Ensure Adequate Drinking Water and Frequently Replace Fresh and Clean Water

Summer is hot, and dogs easily get thirsty. To avoid dehydration, owners must ensure sufficient drinking water and replace it daily to keep it clean and fresh.

5. Properly Adjust Exercise and Playtime

Change dogs’ usual playtime to cooler periods. In summer, not only is the weather hot, but the ground can become scalding. Going out during high temperatures can cause heatstroke and burn the dogs’ paw pads.

6. Prevent Skin Sunburn

Short-haired dogs’ skin is more easily exposed to direct sunlight. Owners can buy pet sunscreen spray and spray it before going out.

7. Pay Attention to Temperature Control

Although summer is very hot, do not let dogs be exposed to air conditioning for too long. The best way to cool them is to use fans or natural wind.
