Beat the heat

Long days are on the wane in the United States, but for those living in Florida it is summer all round the year. We of course have our own ways of beating the heat, but what about our friends with paws? If not looked after well, this heat can prove fatal for them.

So, here’s a checklist for your quick referral.

• Never leave him in a hot car alone when you go out on errands.


• Give him plenty of water to drink for this will prevent him from getting dehydrated.


• Exercise him during cooler times of the day.


• Don’t forget to apply sunscreen on his nose and ears when you take him to the beach.


• Apply flea and tick repellants for these pests can be extremely menacing.


• Don’t take him to the scorching roads outside for they can burn your dog’s paws.
