What should I pay attention to when walking my dog in summer?

Most dogs have poor heat dissipation ability, especially small dogs and weak dogs. If you are active at high temperature, you are prone to heatstroke and even life-threatening.

Walking the dog in summer, it is recommended to choose early morning or evening.

In addition, you should also pay attention to the length of walking the dog, and don't exceed the burden of the dog. If it is too long, it will be too tiring to walk back, so you should consider taking it home.

The second point: take some water when you go out.

If you walk the dog for a long time, it is recommended to bring some water to the dog. If you find the dog's wheezing is getting louder and louder, stick out your tongue. It is best to take the dog to a cool place to rest, give the dog some water and replenish water.

Don't give it too cold food. Be careful to stimulate its stomach and affect its health.

Third: don't take the shaved dog out to bask in the sun.

Dogs don't dissipate heat through hair, that is, hair doesn't prevent them from dissipating heat. On the contrary, their hair can help dogs block direct sunlight to form sunburn and prevent mosquito bites.

Therefore, there is no need to shave dogs in summer (except dogs with skin diseases). If your dog's hair is shaved, don't take it out when the sun is fierce.

Fourth point: don't put shoes on dogs.

The sweat glands of dogs are on the tongue and claws. Putting shoes on it will hinder heat dissipation and fail to protect claws. It may also lead to poor heat dissipation and heatstroke in dogs. Therefore, walking dogs in summer is not recommended to wear shoes for dogs.

Fifth: Don't go to high-temperature areas such as oil roads and cement roads.

Oil and cement roads will be exposed to the sun, and the temperature will be high enough to burn the dog's paws. Don't take the dog to the beach or something.
