Pet Vets Manurewa from Pet Vets Manurewa

Our pets love summer as much as we do! It's hard for pets to keep cool when the sun is beating down as Pet's do not sweat as people do. Tips to keep your pets safe this summer.
☀️ Heatstroke: To prevent
>Do not leave dogs in cars, even for short time!
> Exercise dogs early morning or late evening.
> Provide plenty of fresh water and shade
> Provide cooling mats or paddling pools or ice cubes in water
> Breeds such as Pugs and Bulldogs are very sensitive to hot weather so as pets with respiratory or heart problems or overweight or older pets.
☀️ Sunburn: Use pet-specific sunblock to prevent sunburn to white or pink skin areas of your pets particularly where hair coat is sparse such as Belly, Nose and Pinna tips.
☀️ Groomings: Clip pets with thick hair coat particularly around face and belly.
☀️ Hot surfaces: 5 Second Rule. Put back of your hand on the pavement or sand for 5 seconds. If it's too hot for you then your pet should not be walking on it.
☀️ Bee stings: Can cause an allergic reaction. Do not remove the sting with tweezers as this can squeeze the poison sac, rather flick it out with a plastic card and seek advice from your vet.
☀️ Grass seeds can cause severe problems as they can migrate into the skin. Avoid long grass. Check your pet's feet and the belly for any grass seeds and remove them.
