Summer time
What do you do to keep your dog fresh in this summer?
Things to remember.
1.-Keep your dogs well watered.
2.-Keep your dogs well sheltered.
Dog houses and walled kennels are actually inappropriate during hot days.
While they may provide shade, they also trap hot air within a small, enclosed space. This may cause heatstroke, especially in instances where the dog is locked inside a dog house or kennel.
3.-Walk your dog earlier in the morning and later in the evening.
Things to Avoid During the Summer
1. Do not leave your dog inside the car alone.
Not even if we have the windows open, and not even for short periods of time. A car can heat up very quickly.
People at HowStuffWorks showed how the temperature within a car can climb from 75 degrees F to 110 degrees F within 15 minutes. This can be fatal to a dog, who cannot dissipate body heat as quickly as we can.
2. Do not leave your dog in the backyard alone, without water and proper shade.
3. Do not over exercise your dog
Activity will tire a dog out more quickly during the summer months. Make sure not to over-exercise your dog.
