With temperatures soaring above 40 degrees Centigrade in several parts of the country, it is important to understand how to help keep pets cool, especially amid the heatwave.
It is essential to keep your pet hydrated and cool during the hot days. Offer them fresh and cold water to feel fresh and energised. You can also try offering them fruit juices or chilled pieces of fruit to keep them cool.
One way to keep their body temperature cool during the heatwave is to incorporate water play and water-based activities for your pets instead of engaging in heavy exercises or going out in the heat.
3. Don't keep them in parked cars
Don't leave your pets in a parked car in this heat as the temperature inside the vehicle can rise, making it hard for them. Rising temperatures can make them uneasy and potentially lead to organ damage.
Avoid taking your pet out during the hottest time of the day. Keep your pet in the shade or indoors. High temperatures and UV rays can lead to heatstroke and other heat-related problems in your pets.
Hygiene is essential in every season, and summer asks for extra care. Make sure to keep your pets clean by brushing their teeth, grooming their fur, bathing them, cutting nails and much more.
