Why is dog care so essential during summer
- Dog Health
Summer is no doubt a very tough time and this is why one must take very good care of dogs during summer. The reason for this is dogs do not have sufficient sweat pores to keep themselves cool so they face a very tough time keeping themselves cool.
Here are some dog care tips that one must follow very strictly during summer.
1) Keep sufficient water : One must keep sufficient water in the dog bowl and that too 24/7 so that anytime the dog feels thirsty he can have water. One must also train the dog do that he does not dirty the house, as it is very natural that frequent drinking water will create a tendency to urinate often.
2) Shady area : The next thing about dog care during summer is to prepare shady areas in the garden lawn wherever the dog spends time. The dog may like to rest and not always play in Sun. The dog must not be taken to walk after Sunset or early in the morning. In most places, Sun becomes so harsh that the dog suffers a lot if taken out for walks when the Sun is high.
3) Fan cooler or air conditioner : We all need air cooler, air conditioner during summer and our dogs need the same. However make sure that never place the dog’s bed directly in front of the air cooler or air conditioner as otherwise it will catch cold very easily. If the dog feels uncomfortable, it will show the same by its behavior.
If you feel the need to take a light blanket in an air conditioner room then make sure that you provide the same to the dog as well. You must be very careful not to let the dog stay out in hot weather.
During after noon, bring it indoor and do not tie it outside.If the dog has suffered from heat stroke the immediately pour cold water over it, give it water to drink and immediately take it to the vet.
These were some basic tips for keeping your dear adorable pooch cool during summer.
