When temperatures rise in the summer, extra precautions must be taken to ensure pets stay safe from the heat. Do not leave pets unattended in vehicles, as temperatures inside can quickly rise to deadly levels. Consider scheduling vet checkups to monitor for common summer issues like heartworm and fleas. Walk pets in mornings and evenings to avoid heat exhaustion. Keep homes cool and provide pets with plenty of fresh water and ways to stay cool indoors. Certain breeds are less heat tolerant, so all pets require close monitoring in hot weather.

1. Tips to Protect Your Pet
Dog from Hot Climate

2. In summer our pets get affected due to hot weather and we observe
changes in them like loss of appetite, impulsiveness, anorexia, etc.

3. When the temperature rises, we need to take extra caution to
make sure our pets are okay in the sweltering heat.

4. Don't leave them alone in the car

5. Despite many warnings, pet parents leave their pet dog in a
parked car that overheats, which leads to their death.

6. Within just a few minutes, a car can get extremely hot, stifling, and deadly. The
temperature inside a car in hot climates shoots up to 117 degrees within 30 minutes.

7. If you leave your pet dog inside the car he is going to suffer severe
dehydration and may even suffer a heat stroke leading to his death.

8. Consider vet care

9. When you experience significant changes in the
weather, take your dog to the vet for a full checkup.

10. The check-up should include a heartworm test and a
flea & tick protection plan.

11. These are common issues, but in the summer months with
significant outdoors time, it is vital to monitor them.

12. Avoid walking in the heat

13. Always take your dog for a walk in the mornings and evenings to
avoid heat strokes & dehydration in extreme temperatures.

14. If you notice your pet dog having glassy eyes and frantic panting, it
indicates he needs help & you must go to a veterinarian immediately.

15. Keep your home cool

16. When the temperature outside gets hot, it can be harder to keep the indoors
cool. As the heat radiation from the outside can make your home hot too.

17. Open unscreened windows pose a real danger to dogs, who may fall out of them. Keep
all unscreened windows or doors closed to prevent heat radiation from the outside.

18. Your pet dog should have unlimited access to fresh water and you can put ice
cubes in your dog's water & also offer him an ice pack or a wet towel to lay
on.

19. You can replace a portion of their regular diet with canned food and also give
your pet dog some homemade frozen treats.

20. Conclusion

21. Some dog breeds are less tolerant of the heat than others like pugs, Bulldogs,
Boston Terriers, Boxers, Pekingese & French Bulldogs are less tolerant of heat.

22. Also, older dogs, puppies, and dogs with health issues can also be
more susceptible to health complications in hot weather.

23. However, you should keep a close watch on your dog in the heat,
no matter what his breed, age or state of health.
