Just like people, the sun and heat can cause serious damage to our pets' skin.
Below we tell you the two main reasons and 4 ways to avoid it.
Burning of the pads due to high temperatures
High summer temperatures can cause severe burns to our pets' paws . In summer, the ground temperature can be very high, especially on asphalt.
So much so that even authorities, such as the Civil Guard, are warning about it via Twitter with the 5-second trick :
Although the paws are strong, they are also delicate and our pet can easily get injured.
Imagine walking barefoot on asphalt in the middle of July or August . Our feet would be raw and in a lot of pain! Our dogs are exactly the same.
The dangers of the sun on our pets
Many veterinarians have already warned about the dangers of the sun for our pets.
“More and more dogs are coming in with wounds and burns , which can be very painful for our companions.”
Ears, muzzle, mouth and paw pads are highly exposed and very sensitive areas in all dogs and can cause serious injuries.
What can happen if my dog gets burned?
Signs of sunburn in dogs may appear immediately or within hours of overexposure.
- Red and irritated skin and nose : Our pet's skin may be raw and even bleed.
- Sensitivity, pain and itching : If we touch our animal and it is sensitive, it is very likely that the skin has been burned and is causing a lot of pain.
- Dryness and flaking : Lack of hydration due to burning will cause the animal's skin to dry out and can even lead to skin cancer.
Here are 4 steps to avoid this damage:
- Avoid walking during the central hours of the day , preferably in the morning or at night.
- Carry a bottle of fresh water to offer him and a spray bottle , like the one used to water plants, to spray him and refresh him.
- Refill the water bowl frequently , and if it's very hot, you can put in some ice to keep the water cool.
- Apply sunscreen .
Animals with lighter skin or puppies, which have shorter, lighter coats, are the ones that benefit most from these products.
It is very important that this product is NOT for people as zinc oxide is bad for them.
Before your walk, apply a good layer of cream to the most sensitive areas of your body.
