How to Protect Your Dog from Heatstroke: A Few Simple Tips
Inexperienced dog breeders believe that in order to protect a dog from heat stroke, it is necessary to cut the pet before summer. But experts do not advise doing this, since the fur and undercoat regulate the temperature.
Otherwise, it is enough to remember a few rules that will come in handy on the street or while traveling.
So, these simple tips will help protect your dog from heat stroke.
1. In the summer, you need to constantly monitor your pet at home or on a walk. Sometimes owners do not notice that the dog has become ill.
Thus, the temperature may rise, breathing may become more frequent, anxiety or lethargy may appear.
2. It is better to plan walks for early morning and late evening, and when leaving the dog in the apartment during the day, you should provide it with plenty of drinking water.
3. It is better not to plan active games and long walks in the sun. Experts advise to exclude physical activity altogether during this period.
4. Leaving a dog in a confined space in the sun without the possibility of finding shade is unacceptable.
If your pet feels ill, the first thing you need to do is bring down its body temperature.
To do this, the animal can be doused with cool water or wiped with a towel soaked in cold water.
Once you have managed to bring your pet back to his senses, you need to observe him and seek help from a veterinarian.
