Simple gestures to adopt for your pet during hot weather
A few recommendations to respect so that high temperatures rhyme with serenity and comfort for your faithful companion.
- In case of high temperatures, keep your dog cool at home, ban physical efforts and outings.
- Avoid or limit transportation.
Also, during high temperatures, never leave your dog in your parked car, whether in the sun or in the shade, and, contrary to what many people think, a window is absolutely not enough to control the heat in the cabin. The air inside the car can reach 50°C in a few minutes for an outside temperature of only 22°C in the sun. Imagine the same situation with summer temperatures. - Do not walk your dog on hot asphalt, which could cause severe burns to his paws.
- Finally, make sure that fresh water is always available.
