Ways To Protect Your Pet From The Summer Heat

Our furry friends find summer most uncomfortable with the scorching heat. The increasing heat in summer is dangerous for our animal companions which leads to heatstroke, dehydration, and other health issues.

It is extremely challenging to deal with rising temperatures for our pets. Fortunately, there are several ways to protect your pet from the summer heat.

Here are some tips to keep your furry friend cool and healthy during the summer months:

Keep your pet hydrated: Ensure that your pet has access to clean and fresh water throughout the day. Change their water regularly and add some ice cubes to it to keep it cold. Feeding them natural coolers like curd, and unsweetened buttermilk helps them beat the heat.

Limit exercise during peak hours: We as vets always recommend that pet parents should avoid exercising their pets during the hottest part of the day. Instead, take them for a walk early in the morning or late in the evening when the temperature is cooler. Additionally, walking your pets on the grass is another preferred option during the summer.
