Summer is just around the corner, and precautions need to be taken for the well-being of dogs, cats and other four-legged friends. As with us humans, the heat can prove to be decidedly dangerous for them as well. Consequently, we must always carefully consider the characteristics of the spaces where they spend their time, their diet and their habits.
First of all, preparations should be made to set up suitable environments to accommodate pets both indoors and outdoors. At the same time, it is important to remember the most common precautions that enable them to withstand high temperatures. For example, we need to make sure they hydrate properly. Therefore, to prompt them to drink the right amount of water, it is ideal to provide them with several bowls of fresh water.
In addition, you can increase the portion of wet food, since it contains a higher percentage of liquids. However, we need to balance it according to weight, age, activity and nutrients in the food.
Another danger that arises in hot weather is parasites. In fact, pets are more likely to be attacked by these organisms in the summertime due to high temperatures and lush vegetation. Countering their aggression is essential to prevent the onset of serious diseases, including infectious diseases, and allergies.
We delve into the techniques, products and ideal health zones for mostly dogs and cats.
Shelters pets from the heat
We know, our four-legged friends manage to maintain a constant body temperature just as we do, but they do it differently. In fact, dogs regulate it by sweating from their paws and increasing lung ventilation, thus, also letting moisture evaporate from their tongue, nose and lung lining. They also take advantage of the insulating power of the coat and vasodilation, particularly, in the ears and muzzle.
Although these nerve reflexes are effective, we still need to keep pets out of the heat to avoid heat stroke. Accordingly, it is good to adopt a number of strategies, which should be advised especially to their owners. For example, dogs should take the longest walks at the coolest times of the day and stay in cool shaded areas.
The same goes for cats, who need to spend their time in airy environments where temperatures are not high. In addition, it is helpful to
These practices are also used in boarding houses, kennels and catteries to ensure shelter from the heat and the well-being of pets.

Keeps pests away from pets
When reflecting on the potential heat-related dangers to our little friends, it is important to have a complete overview. This means also considering the risk posed by parasites, which are responsible for numerous diseases that can also be transmitted to humans.
In hot weather these living things proliferate, accomplices in particular being the high temperatures and the time spent mostly outdoors by dogs and cats. Studies performed in this area have made us aware of the importance of using effective methods to protect them.
There are antiparasitic collars, vials containing the liquid to be applied to the coat, tablets to be taken orally, and substances to be injected. Products with different active ingredients are available, which also differ in their spectrum of action and duration of effectiveness.

Against the heat you need the right pet hair care
In summer, it is recommended to thin the hair of cats that have it particularly long and thick. Qualified groomers know what techniques to employ to keep it the right length, as it shields their bodies from the sun’s rays. The same is true for dogs, so different methods should be employed if they have undercoats, if the hair is waterproof or long and shaggy.
Examining its characteristics is essential to treat it appropriately. Thus, the dangers posed by heat to pets are avoided. For some dogs, for example, a brushing that facilitates shedding is sufficient. For those with very short hair, a special glove is used. In contrast, breeds distinguished by thick, continuously growing hair require shearing.
Our company provides a wide assortment of professional grooming tools and accessories. In fact, our catalog includes tools for cutting, drying, combing and cleaning the coat of dogs and cats. We recommend to our customers the items indicated for grooming the hair of various breeds.
