Walking is one of the most important things in the life of any dog: no animal can resist the tempting offer to go outside.
However, summer has its own risk factors that need to be taken into account.
What are 3 secrets to make a summer walk as safe as possible?
Avoid going out during periods of maximum solar activity
Even if you have already formed a schedule, it is worth making adjustments to it. The fact is that dogs react differently to heat. If the dog is exposed to scorching heat for a long period of time, this can have irreversible consequences, experts say.
Therefore, it is worth going for a walk at times when the sun is not so active.
Duration
Avoid walking too long in hot weather. It is best to go outside more often, but reduce the duration of stay. In this case, the animal's activity level will not decrease.
Insects
It is important to remember that summer is a dangerous period of the year because of ticks. These insects can cause great harm to the health of your pet.
Therefore, it is extremely important to protect your dog from insect bites.
