Summer Tips
By: Dr. Rey Del Napoles
Dear Friends it is summer time. We have been experiencing the past days the intense heat. So do our pets. Here are some pointers that may help you feel safe of your pets' condition.
- Update your annual vaccination. Summer is when we normally confronted with distemper.
- Check their deworming and heartworm prevention programs.
- Get an effective tick and flea control for your cats and dogs.
- Never leave your pet alone in a vehicle-overheating can be fatal. Dogs and cats can't perspire and can only dispel heat by panting and through the pads of their feet.
- Keep a good supply of cold water when traveling with your pet. Even when just going for leisure walks.
- The right time for playtime is in the cool of the early morning or evening, but never after a meal or when the weather is humid. Pets need exercise even when it is hot, but extra care needs to be taken with older dogs, short-nosed dogs, and those with thick coats.
- On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours.
- When the temperature is very high, don't let your dog stand on hot asphalt. His or her body can heat up quickly, and sensitive paw pads can burn. Keep walks during these times to a minimum.
- Provide fresh water and plenty of shade for animals kept outdoors; a properly constructed doghouse serves best. Bring your dog or cat inside during the heat of the day to rest in a cool part of the house.
- Be especially sensitive to older and overweight animals in hot weather. brachycephalic or snub-nosed dogs such as bulldogs, pugs, Boston terriers, Lhasa apsos and shih tzus, as well as those with heart or lung diseases, should be kept cool in air-conditioned rooms as much as possible.
- Good grooming can stave off summer skin problems, especially for dogs with heavy coats. Shaving the hair to a one-inch length-never down to the skin, please, which robs Rover of protection from the sun-helps prevent overheating. Cats should be brushed often.
- With people and dogs spending more time outside, dog bites are likely to increase in the summer months. Spaying or neutering your dog reduces the likelihood that he will bite and provides many other health benefits.
- Make sure your pet is always wearing a collar and identification tag. If you are separated from your pet, an ID tag may very well be his or her ticket home.
- In summer heat your pet can suffer from heat exhaustion and heat stroke. These conditions are very serious and could cause your pet to die. You should be aware of the signs of heat stress, which could include heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse, unsteadiness, a staggering gait, vomiting, or a deep red or purple tongue. If your pet does become overheated, you need to immediately lower his body temperature. Move your pet into the shade and apply cool (not cold) water over his body to gradually lower his core body temperature. Apply cold towels or ice packs to your pet's head, neck, and chest only. Let your pet drink small amounts of water or lick ice cubes. Most importantly, get him to a veterinarian immediately.
