It's very hot in the house in summer. Do pets left at home need to turn on the air conditioner?

If it is a pet that is particularly afraid of heat, or a pet that has difficulty radiating itself, it is necessary to turn on the air conditioner.

For example, short-nosed dogs have a special respiratory system, which is not conducive to their heat dissipation, so they are prone to heatstroke and are particularly afraid of heat. My husband's colleague has a legal fight at home. He was alone at home because of heatstroke last summer, and it disappeared when his master came home.

There are also some physical reasons, such as a certain disease or old age, which is easy to get heatstroke. This air conditioner must be on all day.

Like normal pets, if you feel that the air-conditioning electricity bill can't stand it, you can help your pets spend the summer in other ways.

My teddy bear won't turn on the air conditioner unless someone is at home. If the dog is alone at home, he doesn't turn on the air conditioner, mainly because of the electricity bill.

Before closing the cage, I thought about buying a small electric fan to blow it, or putting the cage in the living room, but if I turn on the electric fan for a long time, the wind will turn into warm air, and the living room will be stuffy without a balcony. In the back, there is an ice pack around the cage to spend the summer.

It was really hot last year, so I just broke up and slept wherever I wanted.

So, if you don't turn on the air conditioner, prepare some items that can escape the heat.

1. If you are locked in a cage, you can put an ice pack around the cage. If there is no ice pack, take a mineral water bottle and put it in the refrigerator for one night.

I always take two convenient bags filled with ice pads and tie them directly to the cage where the dog sleeps, so it will always be cooler. As for the bag, it is because the ice will drip when it melts.

However, if the weather is particularly hot, the ice actually melts quite quickly. You can change it at noon, or put more ice.

2, ice mat, the mat was ready at the beginning, I bought an ice mat and put it on the right side of the bed. Britney Spears sleeps in several places, except for the ice mat and the chair on the left side of the bed. The air conditioner is facing that direction.

But last summer, I found that even if the air conditioner was turned on at night, it would still sleep in the open space on the left side of the bed, just opposite the air conditioner.

Really. I don't like puppies sleeping on the ground. Don't sleep secretly when you are not at home during the day, and continue to sleep at home at night. So as long as it sees me looking at it, it immediately gets up and jumps into the chair to sit. Later, I put the ice mat in that place, and then it has been sleeping on that ice mat since last summer.

I put an ice mat in the same place this summer, and then I found that it slept in the open space on the right side of the bed at night and on the ice mat on the left side during the day, so I took another ice mat and put it on the open space on the right side of the bed.

But during the day, I found that the monitor was on the left side of the bed, and I found that it slept on the ice mat for a nap, and slept outside the ice mat in the afternoon, that is, slept directly on the ground. I had no choice, so I put another ice pad.

In other words, my room is now an ice pad on the right side of the bed, a nest for the four seasons, two ice pads on the left side of the bed, a chair and a winter nest, all of which are places where it sleeps.

Also, I found that it likes to sleep under the table in the living room, and then I put an ice mat there before.

The sofa in the living room has also been replaced by a summer cushion or mat.

It should be noted that if the air conditioner is turned on, there must be a small Mao Mao nest. My four seasons nest and summer nest were confiscated because the puppy would sleep in this nest when the air conditioner was turned on at night.

But this year, I'm not as afraid of heat as I was last year. Maybe I'm old or my hair is short.

3. Fan I have considered using a fan. First, it is useless because it will be hot for a long time. Second, the puppy will not stay in front of the fan all the time, which is a waste of electricity.

If it is caged, you can prepare a basin of ice between the fan and the cage, and then the fan blows at it, so it will always be cool.

It should be noted that it is best for cat families not to bring fans, lest kittens dig with their claws out of curiosity. Because I find that the company cat will be curious when watching the fan turn, especially after turning off the fan, and will keep staring.

Another point is that some cats don't like being blown by fans, especially those with strong winds, so if you choose fans, you should choose those with soft winds.

Britney spears likes this fan very much. Often when the fan is turned on, she runs to sit in front of her or sleeps on her stomach. When I come back from work, it always comes and sits in front of the fan on the sofa, waiting for me to turn it on.

4, stainless steel basin, aluminum basin, etc. I found that cats like this round or square nest-like thing very much, and they like to curl up in it.

So you can prepare several stainless steel pot, aluminum pot, etc. At home, the cat's nest is also cool, but it should be placed in a ventilated and cool place to avoid direct sunlight.

5. Precautions for keeping pets in summer ① Be sure to prepare enough water. Britney spears is two water bowls. I will clean and replace them every day to make sure there is water in the water bowl. If you don't like drinking water, you can prepare more cans.

② Keep the place where pets stay ventilated, away from light and well ventilated, and never in a closed environment.

(3) If the air conditioner is turned on, unless it is always on, if it is a timer switch, it is best not to close the door, because in a closed environment, it will become particularly hot when the coolness disappears. My room is like this. I turn off the air conditioner and turn on the fan regularly at night. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and do it at night, not to mention during the day.

If the air conditioner is turned on all the time, it is best to prepare a humidifier, otherwise the air will become drier.
