Hot time, summer in and out of the city!

16/6/2015

Finally after a long cold winter, the warmer weather is on its way.  If you're like many, you'll want to make the most out of the long sunny days.  Dogs are great companions no matter what you do.  It's important to keep in mind that just like us, they need to keep hydrated and can get over heated.  Of course, we're all mindful of how quickly the temperature rises in a car even if you park in the shade but do you know how to tell if your dog is over heated?  Panting is one of them but there are other signs that we all need to be aware of. 

Summer's also a time when many of our four-legged furry friends spend time swimming.  This is a great activity to keep cool and fit but with it comes the possibility of hot spots.  This is especially true for dogs with a thick coat as the damp and warm condition makes the perfect environment for bacteria to grow.  There's lots of information on the web about the causes and treatment.

For more tips on keeping your pooch safe over the summer, check out my "Surviving Summer" blog.

Until next time, enjoy your summer!
