Dogs are Men's best friends, and we must protect them from the fearsome heat, they usually feel it more than us, and sometimes it can even be dangerous. That's why we leave you infallible tricks that will keep your dog fresh and healthy.
Ice is your ally.
If we want our dog to always be well hydrated and in a way that also refresh, we simply have to follow these steps:
- Fill a balloon with water until it forms a small sphere.
- Put the water balloon in the freezer and leave it until it turns into ice.
- Remove the ice from the balloon with the help of scissors.
- Put the ice in the pet's water bowl.
With that we will get that your water is always very cold, and that also lick the ice, coming to cool your dog. If you are afraid, it's okay, you get used to it, don't stop trying.
Touch the asphalt before going for a walk.
It seems like one of the myths that circulates social networks, but it is not like that, if we touch the asphalt and we feel it so hot that we cannot bear to hold our hand, we should not take our dog.
The pads on their paws are resistant, but they will not be able to last 30 or 40 minutes stepping on something so hot, they could suffer burns or even get wounds.
Always bring water on the walk.
If we are going for a walk and it is very hot, we must bring water with ice or simply very cold to be able to hydrate and cool our dog well. Getting them to drink from a fountain can be very difficult, so it is always best to carry a bottle.
If your dog doesn't know drink from the stream that comes out of the bottle, there are many types of bottles that have bowls included so that we can walk with them and carry them without causing discomfort. These bottles can be found at amazon.
Don't go out during sunny hours.
If our pet wants to go out, it is best that we wait for the hours when the sun is less in our streets or our walking areas. The best time to go out in summer is very early in the morning or late at night.
Around those hours, the fresh air will begin to flow a little, our pet will not be directly exposed to the sun and will not gasp from the suffocating heat. Another remedy is to remove it in areas with rivers or water, they tend to be more cold or they can even be soaked.
If we have a garden, a good option may be to turn on the sprinklers to see its reaction, maybe play while it cools off.
