It is normal for dogs not to eat much in summer. This is mainly because the dog’s appetite will decrease due to the influence of external temperature, and the dog will be unwilling to move or eat.

So in summer, you should give your dog some light and easy-to-digest food, and let your dog drink more water. The dog can be placed in a dark and ventilated place to avoid staying in a high temperature environment for a long time.

The weather is hot in summer, and dogs do not have sweat glands to help dissipate heat. They can only dissipate heat by sticking out their tongues. Therefore, it is normal for dogs to become inactive and have a reduced appetite due to the heat. Don’t do this at this time. Allow the dog to exercise vigorously. If the dog is unwilling to go out, do not force it to go out to avoid heat stroke.

What dogs can eat to relieve summer heat:

1. Watermelon: Watermelon is rich in water. Dogs eating watermelon can relieve summer heat. But remember not to feed your dog too much or eat watermelon that is too cold, otherwise weak dogs may suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort. Watermelon is also rich in vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin C, which can maintain healthy nerve function in dogs.

2. Oranges: Oranges are rich in vitamin C, which is good for the skin and hair condition of dogs. However, you must remember that when feeding oranges to dogs, you must peel the skin and seeds. Take it out and do not feed it directly to the dog in large quantities, as this may cause it to choke.

3. Kiwi fruit: Kiwi fruit is rich in fiber, vitamin C and potassium. In addition, it also contains flavonoids and carotenoids, which are good antioxidants. It can help dogs prevent diseases, regenerate cells, and enhance dogs’ immunity. It is a very good fruit.

4. Bananas: Bananas are a healthy food for dogs. Bananas are rich in potassium, which plays a vital role in maintaining the health of dogs’ hearts and kidneys. However, bananas have relatively high sugar content. If your dog is prone to obesity, don’t eat too much. Occasionally eating some bananas can clear the intestines and moisturize the bowels, which is good for the dog's stomach.
