The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and pets also need heatstroke prevention and cooling in summer! Now let's introduce some pet heatstroke prevention tips, hoping to help you!


Timely heat dissipation


In summer, the climate is hot and the air is humid. Pets are prone to heatstroke in a high-temperature and humid environment because it is difficult to dissipate heat, so they should prevent heatstroke and moisture. As the sweat glands of pets degenerate and it is difficult to dissipate heat, pet houses should choose ventilated and dry places to avoid activities in the hot sun, and should go out for a walk every morning and evening. If the pet is found to have heatstroke symptoms, such as dyspnea, elevated body temperature, rapid heartbeat, etc., it should immediately compress the pet's head with a wet towel, move it to a cool and ventilated place, and immediately ask the pet doctor for treatment.


In addition, remind friends with cars not to lock their pets in the car, because the temperature in the car is high in summer, the hot air cannot be emitted, and the air is not circulating, which is easy to lead to anoxia and death.


air-condition syndrome


At present, the heat is approaching, and the utilization rate of air conditioners in many families is very high. If people stay in air-conditioned environment for a long time, they may suffer from air-conditioning disease, and pets may also suffer from air-conditioning disease. After pet suffers from air-conditioning disease, the main symptoms are sneezing and runny nose, anorexia and even not eating or drinking. It looks like a cold symptom, but it is much more serious than a cold. When it is serious, the body temperature rises, and the respiration and heart rate accelerate.


Remind pet owners not to let pets stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time in summer. It is best to take them out in the morning or evening. Pets are strictly forbidden to sleep under the air-conditioned vent. Don't blow the air conditioner directly after bathing your pet.


Nutrition should be balanced


In summer, pets also lose a lot of water. Always pay attention to whether there is clean and sufficient water in their food basin. Pet feeding should be appropriate, there should be no surplus, and the moldy and deteriorated food should be dumped immediately. Don't take cold food out of the refrigerator directly to feed pets, which will stimulate their upper digestive tract and easily cause normal bacterial imbalance, endocrine disorder and indigestion. Pet dog feeding also requires foods other than meat, such as vegetables and fruits, which are conducive to the health of pet dogs. Feed adult dogs once a day and puppies twice a day. You should ration and order tableware.


Keep clean at all times


In summer, pets should pay special attention to keeping clean. Parasites cause bacterial folliculitis in the hair follicles or skin glands of pet dogs, causing depilation and itching. When seriously infected, the affected part has erythema, pustules, and cortical thickening, mainly in the lower abdomen, inner legs, neck, and chest. Pets are prone to have too much secretion near their eyes, so they should pay more attention. When there are many secretions, you can wash them with normal saline. If you can't control it, get medical attention. Pets' ears should be cleaned frequently to check for inflammation or black, greasy secretions. The color of the nose should be checked frequently. If there is any change, it may be a fever or a cold. If there is purulent secretion in the nose, you may have contracted pneumonia or infectious disease.


Tips: when bathing pets, use a special pet bath solution, which can not only remove the odor, but also protect the hair and prevent ectoparasites from reproducing in the hair.
