Know Your Dog Older dogs aren’t the only ones with bad hearts; puppies can be born with heart issues, and it’s important you are aware of them. In the summer, make sure that your dog has a shorter walk and be attentive to how your dog is acting. Signs of struggling to breath or walk? Have a break or cut the walk short. Make sure they have plenty of water and shade so they don’t suffer from heatstroke or worse. If your dog has a darker coat of fur or longer hair, make sure to pay extra attention. Darker colours absorb heat more easily, just like when you wear a black shirt in the summer. Walks are supposed to be fun, so by taking precautions, you will make sure that your dog is wagging his tail happily next to you while giving you that sappy dog smile.
Outdoor adventures in the summer are fun and exciting, just keep in mind that your dog needs hydration, shade, and rest.
