At midday, the sun is at its peak. While that might be pleasant for a human in a sun hat, shorts, and sun cream the tarmac you\u2019re both walking on will be at its hottest. That means it\u2019s much less fun for your furry friend.
Before you leave for your walk get your human to put the back of their hand or barefoot on the pavement for 7 seconds. There\u2019s a good saying for your humans to remember here: if it\u2019s too hot for their hands, it\u2019s too hot for your paws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Take plenty to drink \u2013 and more<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nJust like humans, we pets need much more access to water in hot conditions in order to stay hydrated. Sometimes we\u2019ll need a little nudge to encourage us to drink more, \u00a0so a second water bowl away from our food bowl might be the solution.
It\u2019s worth mentioning that some of us prefer running water, especially when it\u2019s warmer. Stagnant hot water isn\u2019t too thirst-quenching! Luckily, there are plenty of\u00a0water fountains for dogs<\/a>\u00a0available on the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNEVER leave your pet in a parked car<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nI cannot stress this one enough. You\u2019ve all seen the videos of windows getting smashed because neglectful owners have left their pets in a stationary car, that\u2019s because this is a dangerous thing to do.
If it\u2019s 22c outside, it can reach 47c inside a car within an hour. That’s even if a window is part way open. At this temperature a dog could develop heatstroke and become seriously ill or die. Don\u2019t take any chances – take us with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Consider buying us some cooling products <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThere are plenty of accessories out there such as cooling coats, mats, and even toys we can enjoy while keeping cool, calm, and collected this summer.
Animed Direct has a selection of\u00a0cooling products for your dog<\/a>\u00a0that would be helpful for cooling us down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/alfiedog.me.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/anna-stampfli-R7L8RmThgf4-unsplash-1024x683.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nProtect your fair skinned pets from harsh UV rays<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPets with less hair or white coats are as susceptible to sunburn as humans. Plenty of pet owners don\u2019t realise this and aren\u2019t prepared. Sunburn in pets can lead to skin cancer. It’s best to be on the safe side and keep them indoors during these times.
