Dogs can bask in the sun. Allowing dogs to bask in the sun appropriately can promote the absorption of calcium in the dog's body and is beneficial to the development of the dog's bones. Regularly letting dogs bask in the sun can sterilize and disinfect their hair, which can also promote blood circulation and enhance the dog's physical fitness. But don’t bask in the sun for too long to avoid heat stroke. Just bask in the sun for 1-2 hours at a time.
Precautions for dogs to bask in the sun:
1. The weather is hot in summer. Avoid letting dogs bask in the sun at noon, when the temperature is highest. You can do it in the morning or after 4 p.m. , and then let the dog bask in the sun.
2. If your dog suffers heat stroke while basking in the sun, move it to a cool and ventilated place in time, wrap ice cubes in a towel and apply it on the dog's forehead to help it dissipate heat.
3. After your dog basks in the sun, you should replenish it with water in time to avoid dehydration.
