Summer Pet Care Tips

Dogs are prone to dehydration, heat stroke, and sunburn
during the summer months. Dogs do not sweat like we do. They have
sweat glands on their nose and pads of their feet. They cool themselves
down by panting.
*ALWAYS leave fresh cool water out for your dog.
*ALWAYS provide your dog with shade.
*NEVER leave your pet in the car alone! Even for a quick in and out of
the store. Leaving the windows cracked and parking in the shade is not
good enough. It only takes a few minutes for a car to get hot enough for
a dog to overheat.
*Walking/Running should be done in the early morning and evening
hours when it is cooler.
*Doggie sunscreen can be used to prevent sunburn (as always, check
with your vet before use)
*Protect your dogs paws! Hot sidewalks and concrete can burn a dogs
pads. If it's too hot for your hand, its too hot for your dog.
*Never leave your dog unsupervised in the pool.

*Will shaving down my double-coated breed help keep him cooler in
the summer?? Will my dog shed less if I shave it down?? In short..No.
Here is a great article on "double-coated shavedowns"
