How to Ensure that your Pets Beat the Heat
Pets are susceptible to heat-related problems much like humans. It is our responsibility as pet owners to ensure that the summer season does not lead to discomfort or worse for them.
* On hot days, do not leave your dog in the car. Dogs dying of heat exhaustion in cars are a fairly common occurrence. Cars can get heated up fast.
* Take your dog out for a walk when it’s cool, either in the morning or evening. Pavements get hot during the day and can burn the animal’s paws.
* A wet bandana around your dog’s neck when you take him for a walk will make him look and feel cool. Sunscreen on the dog’s nose is a must as that is one part of the animal’s body not protected by fur.
* Ensure that your dog has access to plenty of cool and fresh water; do not shave the animal’s coat.
