Summer, for us and our furry friends, is the best time of year for outdoor activities. We can take longer walks in the park, ambitious hikes, beach days or family trips with our pets.
But hot weather can make us physically uncomfortable, and it can also be a danger to your pets. Things like heat stroke, dehydration, the risk of bug bites, and the hot asphalt that can burn their sensitive paws while outdoors. Here are some tips for you to keep you pets safe & cool.

4 Tips To Help Your Pet To Beat The Heat

Change up your exercise routine

If possible, walk your dog when it's cooler in
the morning and evening.

Provide cooling products

There are a number of cooling mats available,
many of which can be used inside or outside to
cool a pet's whole body.
For dogs on the go, try a cooling vest that uses
evaporation to provide a cooling effect.
Place a damp towel on the floor near the air
conditioner for a DIY indoor cooling mat.

Here are a few ways to take your pet's
summer safety to the next level.

Use a fountain or continuous watering system

This helps ensure there's plenty of fresh, cool water
available.

Offer outdoor animals plenty of shade

Sometimes staying indoors just isn't feasible, but it's
imperative that dogs and cats spending time outside
have access to shade, even if that means you set up
an umbrella or other shade-providing structure. Try
mornings and evenings when the sun isn’t so hot.
Also you need to avoid potential hot concrete and
asphalt on hot days or your dog’s paws may get burnt.

4 Tips To Help Your Pet To Avoid Other Risks

In summer, we usually turn on the air conditioner to lower the indoor temperature. If your dog spends a lot of time in an air-conditioned room, it may appear healthy. But after the age of five, they may begin to show symptoms of arthritis. They start moaning when they get up and find it difficult to climb stairs or even go down.

Many dogs are good at swimming, but even the best cannot swim for long periods of time. Every dog is different, and not all dogs are born with the ability to swim. To be on the safe side, it would be a good idea to put a life jacket on your dog while swimming. Also it's best to get their feet wet first, then go into shallow water, and then slowly into deeper water. Be patient with your dog, it may take some time for them to comfortably enjoy swimming.

Fireworks are a huge reason for fear and anxiety in our pets during the summertime. They scare our pets because they are extremely loud, unpredictable, and make your pet feel trapped.
If your pet has mild anxiety, give your dog some desensitization training, such as playing the sound of fireworks at home from time to time to get them used to the sound, and reward them with some small treats. Also you can create a safe, calm space for your pet during the event and make sure your pet does not escape from your yard.
*If your pet is very scared, you will need to discuss options for prescription anti-anxiety medication with your veterinarian.

Summer is a season of fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes that can transmit diseases to your pets. Flea eggs are very numerous and cannot be easily found. Ticks can spread Lyme disease and other blood-borne parasites to your pet. So you need to check your pet's fecal samples once or twice a year to make sure your pet doesn't have any worms, which they can get from their environment, fleas, or other dogs/cats.

Never leave your dog in a car without adequate ventilation or in a yard without access to shade or cool water on a hot day. Heat stroke is an emergency and, left untreated, can cause long-term health issues and even death.
