1. Watch out for sunburn!

Almost everyone has suffered from sunburn at some point. Believe it or not, your pooch is also likely to be a victim. To prevent it from happening, do not expose him too long to the sun. The parts most likely to be affected are the belly, muzzle, ears and thighs.

2. Do not leave your canine in the car

3. Exercise, but not too much

Your dog needs to move and that’s normal. Prioritize physical activity when the sun is not at its highest point and stay in the shade. His little paws could quickly burn on the sidewalk. During heat waves, keep him cool at home. This will prevent him from suffering of a possible heat stroke.

4. Water, water and more water

At home or outdoors, always have water available for your dog. He will drink according to his thirst! Serve him water at room temperature or slightly cold. Water that is too cold is not recommended because it can cause digestive problems in your pet. If he is not too hungry, offer him a nugget covered with the nutritional supplement. Doggie can keep his vitality and have the necessary vitamins to maintain good health.

5. Heat products

Many products are now available to keep dogs cool: Cooling mats, dog pools, cooling harnesses and cooling vests. Several alternatives are obtainable on the market. All it takes is a little research to find the product that best suits your pet and voila!
