While sunny months may seem like an ideal time for dog owners to be out and about with their pets, the hot weather can be harmful to dogs.
ManyPets analyzed research and reports from veterinary schools and other pet experts to compile a list of ways to protect your dog from hot weather.
Continue reading for seven ways to help keep your dog cool and protected during the hottest months of the year. Canva Cover their paws Sunny days often mean more play time for dogs, but owners must be mindful of the hazard to paws when the temperature rises. Common paving materials can reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit in the height of summer, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Asphalt surfaces, for example, absorb a great deal of the sun's heat and even contribute to the surrounding air temperature.
Canva Give them frozen treats Cold treats can keep dogs happy and cool them down when they feel hot and listless. Dog owners can make tasty frozen treats with peanut butter, tuna, salmon, or other dog-friendly food. The best time of the day to walk your dog is in the morning or evening when it's cooler. Taking a dog on a walk at these times reduces the risk of heat stroke, which can lead to severe and even life-threatening conditions like kidney failure, gastrointestinal bleeding, seizures, and other neurological issues. Walking your dog in the morning or evening also reduces the risk of dogs burning their paws on pavement.
