In hot weather, you need to take care of your pets to eliminate the risk of overheating. This was stated by Mikhail Shelyakov, a veterinarian of the highest qualification category, in an interview with “Moscow 24”.
He noted that in the heat, you can not even leave the animals in the car for a short time, because the temperature in the cabin will quickly rise and there will be nothing to breathe.
“And if you are in the sun, then there is literally three minutes enough. This can really be fatal for the pet, ” the specialist said.
In addition, there is a danger of overheating at home, so leaving your pet alone, you need to create comfortable conditions for it – provide an influx of fresh air and unlimited water.
Shelyakov also recommended adjusting the walking time so that the walks take place during the period when the sun is less aggressive. You should take a supply of water with you, and it is better to give up the muzzle if possible.
If there are signs of overheating, it is necessary to take the animal to the shade. You can also wet the dog’s forehead and armpits.
Earlier it was reported that on June 22, the temperature record of 1917 was broken in Moscow.
