Teddy Dog (Detailed Introduction)

　　The hot summer is coming again. Every time at this time, dogs suffer. Because dogs' skin has no sweat glands, they can only dissipate heat through their tongue and paws. Among them, Teddy dogs are a relatively delicate breed. At such times, it is even more important to pay attention to heatstroke prevention, otherwise dogs can easily suffer from heatstroke.
　　First is to achieve prevention. The first choice is to select the best time for walking the dog, preferably in the morning or evening when it is not so hot. The second is to be well prepared when going out; be sure to bring enough drinking water. Frequent hydration is the best way to prevent heatstroke. The third, which is repeatedly emphasized, is to never leave the dog alone in the car. Exposure to scorching sun and stuffy heat is fatal to dogs.
　　Signs of heatstroke in Teddy dogs. If you find it having difficulty breathing, panting heavily with mouth open; elevated body temperature, accelerated heartbeat, foaming at the mouth, staggering and losing balance while walking, the dog has already suffered from heatstroke.
　　At this time, the owner should not just wait for the vet but take immediate action. First, clear the foam from the dog’s mouth and bring it to a cool place to provide plenty of drinking water. If possible, immediately turn on a fan to cool the dog. Apply a wet towel to the head and continuously moisten the back; ideally, place the dog in a basin of cool water to lower the temperature. Once the condition stabilizes a bit, take the dog to the hospital immediately, and remember to use a car with air conditioning. One important reminder here is never to use ice water for cooling, as this not only has no effect but is counterproductive.
　　Dogs are very prone to heatstroke in the summer, so both prevention and emergency treatment are very important. It is hoped that owners can pay attention to the above preventive measures and also learn some first aid methods to ensure their dogs safely and peacefully get through this summer.
