The Sun Is Starting To Shine
Summer heat puts extra stress on your dog’s body. Because of this, it’s best to keep your dog inside where there is access to shade, water, and cool air, whether from opened windows or air conditioning.
If your dog is outside all day, make sure he has a shady area, preferably on grass since pavement heats up in warm weather. Check at different times to make sure the area is shaded all day. Plus, provide extra water in summer. Try larger water containers, or special devices that attach to an easy-to-reach faucet for unlimited access.
If your dog is used to running errands with you in your car, leave him at home during hot summer days. Even with the windows cracked, your car can reach 130 degrees inside in less than 30 minutes.
Jogging or biking with your dog can be dangerous in hot weather. Be sure to bring plenty of water and allow time for rest periods so both you and your friend can cool down.
Above all, always be sure to give him a high-quality food and the love he deserves.
