The high temperatures affect the whole country and there are several recommendations for humans not to suffer thermal shocks, but What about dogs? The veterinarian Balta Nuozzi (MP 10033) gives us several tips so that the canines do not suffer.

"The ideal is to wet the legs with cold water or ice to keep them cool. Also the ears (not inside) and the head, "Nuozzi explains." When it comes to food, you have to give them small portions throughout the day so your digestive system does not warm up"He adds.

Contrary to what we think, it is not advisable to bathe them very often because the dogs have a protective layer against the heat between the hairs and the skin. "Do not cut or peel hair either: for most breeds, it is not recommended," says the veterinarian.

Although in some cases, when the house where they live is small, it is necessary to take them for a walk in order for them to meet their needs, Nuozzi suggests not to do physical activity when the temperatures are so high. "At most, you have to go out early in the morning or at night "he says.

Another of the veterinarian's advice is related to playfulness. "There are toys with water inside that freeze them, then play and cool at the same time, or you can make frozen fruit juice," he says.

To conclude, and for all that it can not be obvious, Nuozzi warns against the risks that may involve leaving a dog in a locked car or even in a patio or balcony. "They should be in cool places, away from sun exposure," he concludes.
