It's summer and it's very hot. Can dogs get sick?

In summer, the weather is hot, and dogs generally don't get sick;

In order to adapt to the seasonal climate change, dogs will change their fur when the temperature rises gradually in spring. Dogs will put on warm and thick winter fur to make their bodies as fresh as possible to adapt to the heat in summer. (This is the debugging and reaction of the dog's body to adapt to the cold and hot climate. )

In hot summer, parents can also take some measures to help dogs cool down. For example, although we don't advocate shaving dogs, proper grooming is allowed. Just trim the dog's coarse hair properly and make it thinner. Take a walk every day in a cool morning or evening or at sunset.

It is best to avoid taking the dog out when the sun is shining at noon, otherwise the dog is prone to heatstroke. The hair on the dog's toenails must be trimmed in time, because this part is the channel for the dog to dissipate heat. Keeping toenails clean will be more conducive to the dog's body heat dissipation and lower body temperature.

origin of species

Dogs are domesticated by wolves. As early as the era of hunting and gathering, people have domesticated dogs as hunting assistants. So dogs are the earliest domesticated domestic animals. Dog bones have been found in Cishan, Wu 'an, Hebei, Peiligang, Xinzheng, Henan and Hemudu, Yuyao, Zhejiang, which proves that it has a long history of domestication.

The dog-shaped scorpion unearthed from Sanlihe River in Jiaoxian County, Shandong Province is vivid and lifelike, which makes us see the morphological characteristics of domestic dogs in Neolithic Age. The dog bones unearthed from Anbanpo site in Xi 'an, Shaanxi, have smaller skulls, protruding frontal bones, smaller teeth and curved horizontal edge of mandible, which is quite different from that of North China wolves, indicating that the history of human domestication of dogs is indeed very early.
