Tips for taking care of your dog on hot days

Most read

With the arrival of the high temperatures, it is important to pay attention to how the sun and heat affect your pets, such as dogs and cats, and how to take care of them.

Just like humans, animals can also suffer negative consequences from excessive sun exposure, including burns and, in severe cases, skin cancer.

Taking Care of Your Dogs and Cats

Dogs and cats with light or short fur are especially vulnerable. The most exposed areas, such as the abdomen, ears, and nose, are at the highest risk of sunburns. Although their fur provides some natural protection, it is common for many owners to opt for trimming their pets’ hair in the summer, which can reduce that defense.

Signs of Sunburn

If you notice any of these symptoms, consult a veterinarian. Regular check-ups are key to detecting problems before they worsen. In the event of a confirmed tumor, there are various treatment options available, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, always under the supervision of a specialist.

Prevention

Prevention is essential to keeping our pets healthy. With a little attention and care, we can help them enjoy the warmth without worries.
