Golden retrievers have long, thick coats, and they are afraid of the heat of summer and are prone to heatstroke. Therefore, it is especially important to cool down and prevent heatstroke in golden retrievers during the summer. At the same time, we need to do a good job of cleaning the environment and the dog, and prevent the dog from being infected with bacteria and infectious diseases.
Golden retrievers are very prone to heatstroke in high temperatures and high humidity environments due to difficulty in dissipating their own body heat. Therefore, in the summer, we should avoid taking the golden retriever out in the sun. The best time to take a walk is in the morning or in the cool hours after the sun has set. At the same time, in order to prevent heatstroke, we should avoid letting the dog stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time or frequently going in and out of the low-temperature air-conditioned room and the high-temperature outdoor environment.
In the summer, the dog’s nest should be placed in a cool and ventilated place. To prevent dampness, the bedding and other bedding materials should be changed and dried frequently, and the dog’s nest should be rinsed with water regularly and dried and disinfected. In the summer, if you find that the golden retriever has heatstroke symptoms, you should handle them in a timely manner and take them to the hospital. Avoid threatening the dog’s life and health by heatstroke.
In the hot summer, all food is prone to fermentation and spoilage. If the dog eats rotten and spoiled food, it will suffer from food poisoning or gastrointestinal inflammation. Therefore, in the summer, the dog food we choose must be fresh and healthy. The leftover food from the previous meal should not be given to the dog for the next meal. When preparing food, we should first check whether the food is fresh, and then feed the dog after confirming that the food is healthy. Of course, if you find that the golden retriever has food poisoning symptoms, you should take it to the pet hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to prevent the disease from getting worse and ensure the dog’ health.
