More Summer Safety Tips For Your Dog
Do you clip your dog in the summer, thinking he will be better off in the heat? It may be counterproductive. Your dogs coat holds heat near the body in the winter and is meant to insulate against the heat in the summer. Your pet’s fur also works as sunscreen! But not all pet’s fur, dark haired dogs are more easily affected by the heat and you may still want to clip this kind of pet. Not only do you want to protect your pet’s skin from harmful ultra violet rays, their eyes should be protected as well. Yes, even doggy sunglasses, with adjustable straps, of course, are available.
Remember to groom your pet well year round, especially in the summer months. Matted coats are an excellent breeding ground for skin infections.
In closing, your pets can enjoy the summer months with the proper care and pet products. Your vet can provide you with more information on how to care for your pet in the summer.
