Animals, like humans, get irritated in hot weather, and need special care. Dogs, for example, need a full checkup before summer starts. Since flees and ticks are abundant in summer, it is necessary to do all the preventive steps for dogs.
Let your dog enjoy his walk on a cool day, instead of choosing hot weather for his scheduled walks. Dog paws are very sensitive, and they get irritated in hot weather.
Never leave your dog alone in the car, and always carry a gallon of water to keep it hydrated, especially in long trips.
It is so much better to groom your dog’s hair, and make it shorter in the summer season. However, you have to be careful not to shave you dog’s hair entirely, as it will have a sun burn.
If you were going to use sunscreen for your dog, make sure that it is prescribed by a vet, and that it does not have any negative side effects.Dogs love to play, but in the summer time, it is better to play in the early morning, or late in the evening, when the sun rays are not harmful anymore.
