6 Tips to Keep Your Pet Cool This Summer by petmd.com With May gray behind us and many sunny summer days ahead,

it’s the perfect time to hang out with friends and family and bring

your dog along too. Petmd.com interviewed Dr. Aspros and came

up with some smart tips on keeping your pet cool and comforta-

ble all summer long.

1. BEAT THE SUN

Pets are smarter than

we give them credit

for, and prefer stay-

ing at home and lay-

ing on cool surfaces

in the heat of the

day, Dr. Aspros said.

Save your outdoor

time with your pet for

early in the morning or in the evening once the sun has set. By tak-

ing your daily walk, run or visit to the park either before or after the

sun is at its hottest, the air will be easier for your pet to breathe and

the ground will be cooler on the pads of their paws.

2. FIND SOME SHADE

If you do find yourself out in midday with your pet, make sure you

keep them out of direct sunlight or give them a shady place to get

out of the sun. Remember, your pets don’t wear shoes, so the pads

of their paws can be burned walking across particularly hot sand or

asphalt, Dr. Aspros said. If it’s extremely warm, keep them indoors

as much as possible.

3. LEAVE FLUFFY AND FIDO AT HOME

“The classic mistake for owners is leaving a pet in a

closed car on a sunny warm day when the tem-

perature in your car can rapidly climb to over 140

degrees Fahrenheit,” Dr. Aspros said. “It’s solar

heating that’s the culprit, so you can face serious

risks even on a comfortable day.”

The takeaway? As much as your pet may love rid-

ing in the car or spend-

ing time with you, if it’s

hot out and there’s a

chance they’ll be un-

comfortable the best

thing to do is leave

them alone. Panting

takes more exertion

than sweating and can

bring your pet to respir-

atory distress faster than

you think, Dr. Aspros

said. Avoid any poten-

tial issue by keeping them safe and cool at home.

4. HYDRATION, HYDRATION, HYDRATION

In addition to overheating, pets can get dehydrat-

ed quickly, so you’ll want to make plenty of fresh,

clean water available to them. Panting is effective

in allowing animals to cool down because it helps

evaporate fluids from the respiratory tract, Dr.

Aspros said. Help replace these fluids and prevent

dehydration by leaving out water or water alterna-

tives throughout the day, particularly when your

pet has spent time outside in the heat.

5. BE MINDFUL OF CERTAIN BREEDS, CONDITIONS

If your pet is brachycephalic — or has a flat-

shaped face — like Pugs, Pekingese, Boston terriers

and Persian cats, they cannot pant as effectively

and are more susceptible to heat stroke. Be espe-

cially careful with breeds like

these in hot weather and

keep plenty of water on

hand, Dr. Aspros said. The

ASPCA also advises that pets

which are elderly, over-

weight and have heart or

lung disease be kept in air-

conditioned rooms as much

as possible in the heat.

6. TO TRIM OR NOT TO TRIM

Many pet owners, especially

cat parents, incorrectly think that shaving their ani-

mals in the heat will help cool them down. In reali-

ty, the layers of your pet’s coat help to protect

them from overheating and sunburn. Trimming long

hair is perfectly okay, according to the ASPCA, but

it’s unnecessary to do anything else for cooling

purposes. Brushing your cat more often to help re-

move loose fur can also prevent overheating.
