Summer health care tips for dogs

It is necessary that every body should take care of their health. Not only the human but also we should take care of pet animals. If your dog is feeling so hot, they it should be moved to a cooler, ventilated environment.

It is important that never leave the dog alone in a care. If you need to take your dog with you on a car journey, make sure that your destination is dog-friendly and you don't want your day out to be ruined!

If you have to leave your dog outside, you must offer a cool, shady spot where it can escape from the sun at all times of the day. Make sure your dog always has a good supply of drinking water, in a weighted bowl that can’t be knocked over. Fetch water with you on hot days and give your dog frequent, small amounts.

Never leave your dog in a glass conservatory or a caravan. Even if it is cloudy when you leave, the sun may come out later in the day and make it unbearably hot. Groom your dog regularly to remove excess hair. At the start of summer, it is necessary to give long-coated breeds a hair-cut and later in the season.

Dogs need exercise, even when it is hot, but walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening. Never allow your dog to exercise excessively in hot weather. Dogs can get sunburned too – particularly those with light coloured noses or light coloured fur on their ears – ask your vet for advice on pet-safe sunscreen.
