ALLOCATE COOL SPOTS FOR YOUR DOG

Dogs lookout for cooler spots to sit or sleep during the summer. As opposed to making them sleep on the hard floor, which can affect their joints in the long run, allocate these spots for them and try to move their bed and water to these spots.

BLOCK THE SUN

Try to shade the room with curtains and blinds during the day. Place indoor plants to keep the room cool and shady. Avoid taking your dog out for walks at noon when the sun rays are most intense. You can also apply sunscreen spray to protect their skin.

NEVER LEAVE YOUR DOG UNATTENDED!

Never leave your dog unattended in a parked car. On a warm day, the temperature in a car can exceed 48°C in a matter of minutes—even with the windows partially open. Your dog can quickly suffer brain damage or die from heatstroke or suffocation.
