Pet Care in Hot Weather |
|
|
I just want to remind all dog owners that they should have water and shelter available to their pets outside. Even if you are just letting your pet out for a while on a nice sunny day, they need a bowl of water and a sheltered spot to get out of the sun. A shady spot is especially important for dogs with a dark coat. Even if you think it is cool enough out, the direct sun can be very harmful to a dog if he/she is exposed for some time. Lola, our brindle boxer, gets so hot in the sun! Thankfully, we have plenty of trees to give her shade.

RE: Pet Care in Hot Weather
To those of you with dogs that you have chained outside, please bring your dog inside to be part of your family, or seek a more appropriate/humane home for your dog.
Thanks for the excellent tip, Carrie. It's definitely worth providing an extra measure of care for your pets during these hot months.
Thanks,
Christy
RE: Pet Care in Hot Weather
I won't let my pups out from noon until 5 as I am afraid their feet will burn on the pavement.
During the summer, my dog walkers come around 11 instead of 1, take a short walk and then spend the rest of the my allotted time indoors with them.
