With this heat dogs and cats can be affected by poor diet, and is that, as in humans, animals are also very sensitive to high temperatures, with less appetite or less willing to ingest copious meals.
During the summer the feeding of the dogs must change and adapt, to be able to cope with the heat.
Not only do humans need to drink strawberry water continuously, our pets can also suffer from dehydration.
Dogs specifically can not break a sweat, so they find it more difficult to lose heat. The cooling system is your mouth, because the tongue is where your body heat evaporates. For this reason it is of vital importance that in summer we provide them with water continuously, preferably fresh and in several places of the house, they will appreciate it.
Another of the things we can offer our dogs in hot places are fruits: apples, pears and bananas, should be part of their diet this summer. They could be a good prize for dogs, as it refreshes them and helps them have better digestion.
Cans and moist foods are also beneficial for them in times of high temperatures. There are specific recipes for them and it can be a good method, put in the freezer for a while the toy with which they usually entertain themselves.
The most common illness for dogs is gastroenteritis, since dietary changes can cause digestive problems in the animal. As always, if symptoms persist, we must take our pet to the vet.
Do not hesitate to follow these tips and take care of your dog more, now during the summer. For more information, do not hesitate to call your veterinarian in Denia, Cynos, at 966424455.
