What's wrong with dogs being too hot?

1, canine diseases are prone to occur in summer.

High temperature in summer can easily lead to heat exhaustion and heatstroke in dogs, in which heat exhaustion is mainly manifested as rising body temperature, dry skin, thirst and excessive drinking, and rapid heartbeat. If the situation is serious, symptoms such as dyspnea and syncope may occur, and you need to seek medical attention in time.

In addition, the physical resistance of dogs decreases in summer, and the risk of infection increases accordingly. For example, canine distemper, canine parvovirus infection and other diseases will worsen, and may also cause digestive diseases such as diarrhea and vomiting, so we should pay close attention to the health status of dogs.

2. How to prevent dogs from getting sick in summer

First of all, to provide a cool environment for dogs, you can add fans, air conditioners and other cooling equipment at home, or take dogs to indoor air-conditioned places. Secondly, we should keep enough drinking water and provide clean water for dogs. If the dog has symptoms of heatstroke, you can wipe its body surface or soak its feet in cold water to cool down.

In addition, frequent bathing in summer is also an important guarantee for the health of dogs. You can use mild dog care products to bathe and clean your dog's hair regularly to avoid skin diseases caused by excessive hair and poor shedding. Dogs are also prohibited from eating in garbage dumps, canteens and other places to avoid being infected with bacteria.

It is common for dogs to lose their appetite in summer, but they still need reasonable diet management. On the one hand, it can increase the number of times dogs eat and gradually adapt to the habit of eating carefully in summer. On the other hand, we should pay attention to light diet, reduce high-fat and high-calorie foods, and avoid digestive system problems such as vomiting and diarrhea due to hot weather and excessive food intake.

At the same time, dogs can increase fresh vegetables, fruits and other foods with high water content in summer, and properly supplement vitamins and minerals. However, it should be noted that dogs are not suitable for eating all fruits and vegetables, especially some foods containing toxins, so special attention should be paid to avoid poisoning problems.

4. Reasonable daily care

Dogs need to comb their hair frequently in summer to reduce the reproduction of parasites and facilitate the timely detection of skin diseases and wounds. Special attention should be paid to autumn lymphadenitis, canine distemper and other diseases and the prevention and care of elderly dogs to avoid accidents.

Take your dog to a pet shop or hospital for a comprehensive physical examination regularly to find and prevent diseases in time. These are the contents of daily care, which can improve the quality of life of dogs and provide a strong guarantee for the health of dogs in summer.
