How to help dogs to avoid summer
1. Indoor summer: when the temperature is too high in the daytime, it is better to let the dog stay indoors. If there is air conditioner and electric fan, it is better to adjust to the ideal temperature suitable for the dog. When the owner goes out, it is better to reduce the air conditioner temperature by one or two degrees to prevent the natural temperature from rising. A cool and comfortable basement is also a good choice for dogs. In addition, it should be noted that too humid air will also aggravate the breathing of dogs.
2. Pay attention to summer vacation: build a cool summer vacation space for dogs. If you are outdoors, you can prepare an umbrella or a cool shelter for your dog.
3, prepare cool equipment: there are many dogs using cooling pad on the market, dogs lying on top, the gel placed inside can help volatilizing body heat; the owner can also soak the towel, and dogs lying on it can also reduce the temperature.

4. The best time for dog walking: it's better to take the dog for a walk in a cool place in the morning or in the evening, so as to avoid the dog's limbs contacting the hot road. When traveling, use the traction rope to hold the dog, so as to prevent the dog from losing control of mood and hurting passers-by due to the high temperature.
5. Dog's coat: in summer, you must shave the dog's coat, but remember to shave it off, because the coat can protect the skin. If you shave it off, the sun will burn the dog's skin.
6. Don't leave the dog in the car alone: This is a very dangerous practice, because the car environment is closed and the air circulation is not good, the dog is likely to suffocate and die. Be sure to open the window or adjust the car air conditioner to a proper temperature.
7. When the weather is hot, observe the dog to see if there is any sign of discomfort or heatstroke, such as excessive panting. If there is, take the dog to a cool place to replenish water immediately, or contact a veterinarian.
