How to Prepare Your Dog for Summer

Summer is a wonderful time for walks and outdoor play with your dog, but high temperatures can be dangerous to its health.

Here are a few important tips:

1. Provide plenty of water - always carry drinking water on walks

2. Avoid the hottest hours - walk early in the morning or in the evening

3. Never leave your dog in a car - even for a few minutes, the temperature inside can become dangerous

4. Protect the paws - hot asphalt can burn delicate paws

5. Provide shade and cooling - make sure there is a cool place to rest

If you notice signs of heatstroke (heavy panting, confusion, vomiting), see a vet immediately.
