Dogs have no sweat glands on their body surface and can only dissipate heat through panting. Therefore, in hot summer, especially at noon, dogs should not be allowed to do strenuous exercise or be exposed to direct sunlight. Pay attention to heatstroke prevention and cooling, prevent the occurrence of heat stroke, and ensure that dogs can drink water freely.

The air is humid and the climate is hot in summer. People who have dogs at home should pay attention to protecting them from heatstroke, moisture and food poisoning.

1. Walking time and place. Avoid being out in the hot sun and only go out for walks during cooler times like early morning or late afternoon.

2. What should I do if my dog ​​has heat stroke? If you find that it has difficulty breathing, its body temperature rises, its heartbeat speeds up, etc., quickly clean the saliva in its mouth to facilitate breathing, use a wet towel to apply cold compresses to its head and back and keep humidifying it, and move the dog to a A cool and ventilated place and immediately sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. What needs to be reminded is that you must not put your dog into ice water to cool down after he suffers from heat stroke, as this will only be counterproductive.

3. The air conditioner should not be used more than once. When your home is too hot, you should turn on the air conditioner or fan, but you should not leave the air conditioner on for too long. Unobstructed natural wind is ideal.

4. Exposure to the sun and hot weather are fatal to dogs. Don’t leave your dog alone in the car, let alone on a balcony exposed to the sun! Don’t take your dog with you when you go out for anything, such as shopping. Pets are not allowed in most shopping malls. Some owners have no choice but to leave their dogs in the car, but they don’t expect it. That stuffy car will kill your dog.

5. Don’t drink too many cold drinks. Make sure your dog has access to clean, cool water at all times. The body temperature in a dog's stomach is higher than that of a human. Eating too many cold drinks at once will irritate the stomach. It is okay to give your dog a few bites of popsicles occasionally, but not too much.

6. Pay attention to the method of shearing. Although dogs do not sweat, thick hair will affect the heat dissipation when in contact with cold objects. However, the presence of hair can also reduce skin-related diseases caused by sun exposure. Therefore, shearing once a year is enough. Use a clipper when shearing. Cut close to the skin.

7. Pay attention to moisture-proof. To prevent moisture, bedding materials such as mats must be changed and dried frequently. They must be completely dried before use. If the dog gets wet by rain during a walk, it must be cleaned and dried with a towel in time.

8. Be careful of skin-related diseases. Check your dog's ears and coat frequently, and do not let it stay in dirty or humid places for a long time to prevent the occurrence of skin-related diseases such as eczema.
