How to prevent heatstroke in dogs in hot weather:

1. Pay attention to the dog walking time. Never take your dog out for a walk at noon or in the afternoon, when the temperature is the highest and the ground temperature is also high. In addition to being prone to heat stroke, the dog's paws are also prone to burns. Try to choose to go out for a walk with your dog in the early morning and evening when the temperature is cooler.

2. Avoid strenuous exercise. Avoid letting your dog do strenuous exercise in high temperature and humid weather. You must rest when it’s time to rest, and you can’t let the dog’s temperament, exercise without restraint.

3. Ensure adequate drinking water. Due to the hot weather in summer, dogs need to add a lot of water. Although this is a very simple thing, it is also a very important thing. It is necessary to add water to dogs frequently.

4. Ensure air circulation. In addition to heat, the cause of heatstroke is stuffiness. In a closed room, or in a car for too long, the dog will suffer from heat stroke due to excessive temperature, poor ventilation, and lack of drinking water.

5. Take care of the dog's hair properly. In the hot summer, the particularly long and thick hair needs to be trimmed short. Do not shave the dog’s hair, because the skin exposed to the sun will cause the dog’s skin to be sunburned, which will cause the hair to no longer grow, and also May be infected with skin diseases or even skin cancer.
