Hi everyone, today I am back with a new blog. If you follow
me on instagram you must know that I have posted a poll yesterday, in which i
asked a question which was that do you want me to write a blog on dog’s. And i
am happy to see that like me all of you are also dog lovers. But today i am not
going to write blog on dogs i am going to write blog on dog care tips for
summer.
Before i also have written a blog on dog’s if you haven’t
read it yet, you can check it out by clicking this link: https://mehta1st.blogspot.com/2018/05/dogs-are-more-humans-than-us.html
So back to our today’s topic, I will be sharing ten tips to
take care of your dog in summer’s-
1.
NEVER
EVER LEAVE YOUR DOG IN A HOT CAR:
You probably have heard this before, but it’s so important that i still
decided to list it first. It can take some minutes- yes some minutes- for a pet
to develop heat stroke and suffocate in a car. Rather than taking your dog in
the car you can leave it at home only.
2.
MAKE SURE
DOG IS PROTECTED FROM PARASITES LIKE FLEAS, TICKS AND MOSQUITOES:
if not protected, your dog is at risk for heartworm, Lyme disease, Rocky
mountain spotted fever, and a host of other nasty and dangerous conditions. And
don’t forget, many of these diseases can be caught by people too!
3.
KEEP YOUR
DOG’S PAW COOL:
When the sun is cooking, surfaces like asphalt or metal can get really
hot! Try to keep your pet off of hot asphalt; not only can it burn paws, but it
can also increase body temperature and lead to overheating. It’s also not a
good idea to drive around with your dog in the bed of a truck- the hot metal
can burn paws quickly.
4.
YOUR DOG
SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE ACCESS TO FRESH DRINKING:
our dogs get much thirstier than we do when they get hot, and other than
panting and drinking, they really have no way to cool themselves down. Keep your
pet in the shade as often as possible. While dogs like to sunbathe, direct
sunlight can overheat them and cause heat stroke.
5.
GIVE YOUR
DOG HIS VERY OWN “KIDDY POOL”:
Dogs who love the water, naturally love it even more during the hot
months, and getting wet keeps them cool. Providing a small, kid-sized pool will
go over big.
6.
DON’T ASSUME
YOUR DOG CAN SWIM WELL:
Just because dogs instinctively know how to swim, doesn’t mean they’re
good swimmers. And if your dog jumps in swimming pool, he might not be able to
get out without help and could easily drown. Make sure your dog can’t get into
your swimming pool without you around.
7.
DOGS GET
SUNBURNS TOO!:
Believe it or not, dogs can sunburn, especially those with short or
light-colored coats. And just like with people, sunburns can be painful for a
dog and overexposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer. Talk to your veterinarian
about sunscreen for your dog.
8.
WATCH
YOUR DOG’S WEIGHT:
After
a long winter, many dogs put on a few extra pounds. Summer is the perfect time
to increase his level of exercise and get in tip-top shape. A pet that
maintains a healthy weight throughout his life span will live on average 2-3
years longer than an overweight pet.
So that’s all about today. I hope you all must like this
topic.
