6 notes on summer dog care

1, Prevent skin diseases

Skin diseases are not only common in humans, but also in dogs in summer. Due to the high summer temperatures, ultraviolet radiation, coupled with the flowering and seeding of various flowering plants, these factors may lead to skin allergies in dogs, itchy skin and red rash symptoms. When dogs show symptoms of itchy skin, they may keep scratching around, causing their skin to become infected, and in serious cases, infectious to humans.

Note: summer is coming, you should give your dog more cleaning, do not randomly take your dog to some place with lush flowers and plants, if you find that your dog has the phenomenon of itchy skin, you should immediately take to the vet to be treated.

2, prevent dog skin sunburn

We all know that summer ultraviolet radiation is particularly strong, will burn human skin, and even dogs, especially short-haired dogs, are also more vulnerable to injury. If a dog is exposed to UV radiation for a long time without treatment, the situation will continue to deteriorate and skin cancer may eventually occur.

Note: Dogs should be avoided from exposure to the sun during the hot summer months between the hours of 10am and 3pm, and it is recommended that SPF 15 sunscreen be applied to the exposed skin of the dog.

3, prevention and control of fleas

Hot and humid summer temperatures are the best time for parasites such as fleas and wall ticks to breed. These parasites can accumulate on a dog's back and tail, making it miserable. Some parasites can also be transmitted to humans, causing redness, swelling and itching in themselves or their family members.

Note: When summer comes, pay attention to keep the dog hygiene and dog activity place hygiene, remove or even kill the parasites on the dog.

4, pay attention to cold and warm

In the hot summer, not only people should blow air conditioning fans, but also dogs are no exception. However, when blowing air conditioners and fans, we should pay attention to the right temperature and not too long air conditioning time. It is best to feed cold boiled water to the dog, but pay attention to the dog should not eat cold food, because the temperature of the dog's stomach is higher than the human body, eating too much cold drinks will stimulate the stomach and intestines, leading to diarrhea.

5, Adjust the exercise appropriately

In the hot summer days, the dog's exercise should be properly adjusted to drink in the morning when it is cool in the evening. And always pay attention to the temperature of the ground, if the ground temperature is very high, will likely hurt the dog's soles and even abdomen.

6, pay attention to the dog hair grooming

High summer temperatures, some breeds of dogs need to shave also help the dog heat, but the presence of dog hair can reduce the dog sun caused by skin diseases. Therefore, the dog should pay attention to retain the abdominal hair when trimming the hair, which can prevent genital infections.
