Come on, let’s do a little test together:
When you go out to work, will you leave air conditioning for your pets?
After the summer, the temperature is getting higher day by day. In many places, the maximum temperature has reached 35℃-38℃, and in some areas it can even reach 39℃-40℃.
Faced with such weather, have you ever paid attention to the status of your pets at home when you go out?
Which pets are prone to heatstroke?
We all know that pets have fewer sweat glands and their heat dissipation function is far inferior to that of humans. Therefore, in this hot weather, pets have a higher chance of heat stroke than humans.
Although all pets may suffer from heat stroke, short-nosed pets are at greater risk, such as Bulldogs, Pugs, Persian cats, Exotic short-haired cats, etc., which are born with nasal passages Being short, their noses are easily blocked. In hot environments, they are less efficient at removing heat through panting and are more susceptible to heatstroke.
If there are obese, elderly pets, or pets with cardiopulmonary diseases at home, owners should pay special attention because these types of pets are very susceptible to heat stroke.
In order to ensure the safety of pets, it is recommended that owners pay attention to the weather conditions before leaving home before deciding whether to leave air conditioning for their pets. How to do
?
Whenever the room temperature exceeds 26.7 degrees or the humidity is high, there is a possibility of heat stroke for pets. If the room temperature exceeds 36 degrees that day, owners should take timely preventive measures to keep their pets cool:
. When the room temperature exceeds 36 degrees, please remember to leave air conditioning for your pets before going to work.
. In summer, avoid taking your pet for a walk during high temperatures. At the same time, prepare water for your dog to drink, and pay attention to your dog's physical condition at all times.
. Do not leave pets alone in a stalled car. Even on a sunny day when average temperatures are not very high, as temperatures inside a closed car can quickly rise to lethal levels.
. If your dog has no appetite in summer, you can replace the original staple food with an American commercial pet food that says "Comprehensive and balanced nutritional pet food formulated for special objects" or "Nutritionally balanced and comprehensive" on the package, and increase the amount of wet food appropriately. Proportion. Wet food not only has good palatability, but is also rich in comprehensive nutrients, which can effectively help pets maintain good health and replenish their moisture.
Friendly reminder from US Pet Food (PFI)
Once you find your pet has heat stroke, you must first determine whether it is still conscious. If it loses consciousness, do not hesitate and send it to pet hospital immediately. Heatstroke progresses very quickly, and you are literally racing against death.
On the way to the hospital, apply a towel soaked in room temperature water to cover the dog, or directly wet the dog's hair and wipe the flesh pads on the pet's paws to help it dissipate heat.
If the pet is still conscious, parents should calm down first and do not rashly fill the dog with a large amount of water to prevent pulmonary edema problems. Please divide the water into several portions first and let the dog drink it slowly. It should be noted that the water can be cold water, but not ice water, because ice water may irritate the pet's gastrointestinal tract, induce vomiting, and accelerate the loss of body fluids.
Observe the pet0 minutes. If the pet’s condition does not improve, please send it to a doctor for treatment in time.
