Can air conditioning be used on dogs?

Dogs are very afraid of heat. Many people think that dogs do not have sweat glands. In fact, dogs do have sweat glands, but they do not have the function of wicking away sweat. Dogs mainly sweat through their tongues, so in summer you can properly air-condition the dog to help it cool down, but it must be done properly.

Don’t let your dog blow the air conditioner for a long time

In summer, when the temperature is high, blowing the air conditioner can prevent heat stroke, but blowing the air conditioner for a long time can easily cause air conditioning disease and weaken the resistance. If the air conditioner is blown for a long time, the moisture in the air conditioner will be easily sucked out, causing water shortage. If you stay in the room for a long time without moving, your resistance will become worse. It is okay for the owner to blow the air conditioner on the dog, but it must be done in an appropriate amount, and at the same time, it must ensure sufficient water source and appropriate amount of exercise.

What temperature is most suitable for dogs

For dogs, maintaining a room temperature of 27-28°C is ideal. Therefore, when air conditioning is used indoors in summer, try not to adjust the temperature to extremely cold or super strong modes so that the dog can gradually adapt to the temperature. Otherwise, a sudden increase in temperature difference may cause discomfort to the dog, such as sudden sneezing. At the same time, attention should also be paid to air circulation. You can use air circulation fans to send air to high places to form indoor convection.

What should you pay attention to when using the air conditioner on your dog?

Be careful not to let the air conditioner blow directly on your dog's body, and pay attention to maintaining the humidity in the air. To prevent your dog’s skin from drying out, you can place a basin of water indoors to reduce moisture loss. In addition, when the dog wants to go from indoors to the outdoors, turn off the air conditioner first to allow the indoor temperature to "warm up" and prepare some water for the dog so that the dog can drink it at any time.
