Summer is a season we look forward to because of its different charms and because it is often synonym with vacations and rest. However, it also bring us many hot hours that make it a complicated time for many people and even more for our pets. The reason is simple: animals do not regulate their temperature as we do.
As it happens with people, dogs and cats can't handle high temperatures. For this reason, thinking about the darlings of the house, Celima - Trebol offers you some recommendations to take care of our pets this summer::
Water should always be available
It doesn't matter if they don't drink all of it. Add an extra container to the one they are used to. Drinking water is an important measure to counteract the heat. It is important that the liquid is always clean and fresh. Change the water every day to prevent mosquitoes from proliferating. When you go for a walk with your dog, it is a good idea to carry a bottle of water with you, and you can pour it into your own hand to make it easier for your dog to drink.

Don't leave your pet in your car
If you do, in a few minutes your dog can suffer a very harmful heat stroke or even cause death. Even for a moment, never leave your pet in the car and go away. If you have to do some activity, it is better to leave it at home during the hottest days.
Avoid poorly ventilated places
Just as it is not ideal to leave our pets in the car, it is also not good to leave them locked in an environment where they do not have free air. They do not perspire as we do to regulate the temperature, much less can they provide their own water.
Take your dog out when it is cooler
Think that for your pet, heat is not only uncomfortable on the skin, but it can also burn his paws if the floor is too hot. Look for the least hot hours to go for a walk: early in the morning when the sun is still mild or late in the afternoon when the sun has already gone down.
Control their weight
After cold months with less activity, it is common for them to come into the summer with a few extra pounds, and this is the ideal season to get them back to their correct weight. Make sure they are active and get all the exercise they need. Make sure their diet is balanced and adequate for their species, size and age.
Suitable surfaces at home
Our pets walk freely on the floors of our home, so choose a product that is resistant, fresh, easy to clean and does not absorb odors, such as our Celima ceramic and porcelain tiles.
So now you know! Put these important tips into practice and you will get your pet to enjoy this season of the year as well.
