When it comes to your pets in the summer it is important to note that they can get very badly injured if you are not careful. Here are some tips on looking after your pet in the harsh summer sun.
Never leave it in the car
The sun is shining so you do not want to keep your pet indoors, you think it might be a good idea to take your pet with you when you go on your errands or of course any travels you may go on. Well although it sounds like a good idea, make sure you never leave the pet in the car, the car can reach 120 degrees in minutes even in the shade. So what is the problem with this?
Cats and Dogs do not have the ability to perspire, in fact they can only let out heat through panting and the pads on their feet. On the inside of the car there is no air they can use to inhale. Leaving a pet alone in a hot car for a few minutes could result in heat stroke, brain damage or even death. even sticking the air conditioning on in the car is not going to solve this problem.
You are better of leaving the pet at home with plenty of water to drink in the hot months than taking them with you in the car.
So many people take their pets out more in the summer, and this is why the summer months are where the most pets are lost. In case your pet does go missing you need to have them tagged so you can find them.
You need to make sure that you choose the right vets when it comes to your pet and the right Sussex vets and choosing one that can do animal medicine and animal ultrasound is very important indeed.
