Strong sun and heat are a huge threat to the entire dog's body. Our pets' main weapon against the heat is panting and dissipating heat through their paws and ears. However, when the temperature soars, these natural remedies may not be enough. From here it is a simple way to stroke and overheating.
The body temperature of a healthy dog should be between 38.3 and 38.8°C. When it reaches 40.5 ° C, we can talk about heat stroke. When it exceeds 42 ° C for a long time, the health and life of the dog are seriously at risk! Therefore, in no case should you ignore the first symptoms of a stroke.
First aid for a dog during a stroke:
ATTENTION! Never pour cold water on a hot dog. This may cause thermal shock.
Remember that in addition to stroke, dehydration is also very dangerous for a dog in the summer. Therefore - apart from the dog's well-being - also constantly control his access to water. If you leave the house, make sure that your pet has at least 2 bowls filled to the brim. Thanks to this, you will protect it in case it spills one of them. If you have doubts whether your ward is not dehydrated, you can perform a simple test.
Other symptoms of dehydration include:
ATTENTION ! Never leave your dog alone in the car!
After just a few minutes, the temperature inside reaches 40-50 ° C. It only takes a few moments for a pet to get heatstroke. Opening the window is by no means sufficient and does not bring relief!
Remember that there is a fine for leaving your pet in the car. In addition, in order to save the life of a quadruped, it is acceptable to break the window without incurring any consequences.
In hot weather:
The nature of dog physiology is that it cannot be adjusted to the seasons. Your mentee needs walks regardless of the weather outside the window. This does not mean, however, that walking in summer and winter looks the same. In both cases, you should prepare for it properly so that going out together is a pleasure, not a torment.
Beware of the asphalt!
On hot days, this surface turns into a real frying pan. At 35°C, the asphalt temperature can be as high as… 60°C!
As you can see, dogs' paws need special protection - especially on hot days. To ensure it, you should first of all avoid walking on sunny surfaces. It is also worth taking care of proper care. Dog skin has a different pH than human skin, so it's best to use products designed for pets .
Remember to ask your veterinarian if you have any doubts about your pet's health during hot weather. Do not underestimate the symptoms that may indicate a stroke or dehydration.
