What are the more common diseases of dogs in summer? How to effectively prevent and treat them? In this season, the air is humid, the temperature is high, various bacteria, viruses, and parasites are particularly active, and the dog’s own heat dissipation “system” is not very efficient. OK, so they have a good chance of contracting summer diseases. Parents and friends should learn more about preventing and treating dog diseases in summer to help dogs spend this hot summer safely.

What are the more common diseases of dogs in summer?

Heart disease

Generally speaking, obese dogs (pugs, corgis), especially old dogs, are prone to breathing rapidly to dissipate heat due to hot weather. Frequent breathing is not a good thing, as it increases the load on the respiratory system and causes A heart that beats too fast can easily cause sudden death! Moreover, some dogs are prone to heart disease themselves, and it is also possible that heart disease may be induced by climate factors. For old and frail dogs, they should reduce the time they go out for walks. They should take a slow and restful time when walking. It is better to go home and enjoy the air conditioning!

​Cold

In summer, there are many cases where there is an oven outside the house and a refrigerator inside the house. If the air conditioner is turned on too much, people will catch a cold, and of course dogs will too. Sneezing and runny nose are also symptoms of dogs, so don’t be too greedy for coolness. You can blow air-conditioning when you have just returned from a walk. When helping your dog to cool down, be careful not to let your dog face the air-conditioning vent. Blow, in this case, people are prone to colds, and dogs are the same. It is also very effective for your dog to drink some ice water and put a wet towel on it to cool down. If your dog likes to eat popsicles, you can also give him a popsicle to eat.

​Skin diseases

Summer is the season when bugs are active. Dogs that go out frequently can easily bring bugs home with them, such as ants, fleas, etc. There are also dogs whose hair has been cut, making it easier for bugs to get under the fur and bite the dog's skin. Shaved dogs are not only prone to mosquito bites, but are also prone to skin diseases due to sun exposure.

It’s probably impossible to prevent your dog from going to grass with lots of bugs, so the best way is to use passive defense: clean the foreign objects on your dog’s body before entering the house; take a bath or wash your feet immediately when you get home. Using anti-insect soap is very effective. It not only repels insects but also kills insect eggs.

​Heatstroke

There is no need to explain this point. I would like to remind dog parents to take their dogs out for a walk as much as possible around noon. Try to choose cooler times in the morning and evening to avoid being exposed to the sun for too long. It is best to bring water to your dog, and iced water is the best for dogs. Dogs’ favorite drink can help dogs cool down quickly. If your dog suffers heat stroke while walking, you should immediately wet the dog with water. It is best to wrap it in a wet towel, then pick it up and take it to the pet hospital. So it is very important to bring water when you go out!

​Gastrointestinal diseases

Due to the hot weather, the food or water placed there may go bad. If the dog eats the bad food, it can easily cause vomiting or gastroenteritis. Also, if the weather is humid and hot, it can also easily cause loss of appetite and occasional vomiting. If this happens, it is a minor problem that may not require medication, and it can be cured on its own by just starving yourself. But if you continue to vomit or have diarrhea, you must go to the hospital. By the way, the above mentioned method of feeding popsicles to dogs can cause diarrhea in some dogs, but it does not apply to every dog.
