Leaving our furry friends in the car, even for just a minute, can pose a risk to their health. It is also not good for them to be locked in a room or in an environment where the air does not flow. They do not perspire like we do to regulate temperature nor can they provide themselves with water to drink.
For nothing in the world should we leave our pets tied in a place that does not have shade, since in the hottest hours of the day they would not only dehydrate, but could suffer injuries and sunburn.
The muzzle, in dogs, the ears, in cats, and the stomach, in both species, are extremely sensitive .
Use MENFORSAN Sun Cream, a hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formula, with protection factor 30 to hydrate and protect your skin from dangerous UVA and UVB radiation.
If they have suffered burns, you can apply MENFORSAN’s Dermoprotective Aloe Vera Cream. Aloe vera is anti-inflammatory and healing; hydrates, soothes and soothes damaged skin.
It doesn’t matter that our little friends don’t drink it all. Add an extra container next to the one they usually use. Drinking water is a very important measure to counteract the heat. It is essential that the liquid is always clean and fresh. Change it every day to prevent mosquitoes and other critters from proliferating in it.
A good bath can help our pets cope with high temperatures. However, a fountain in a park – where access is allowed – can also be a perfect place for it. The good thing is that they will dry very quickly and, when you get home, they will not stain anything.
We recommend that you use a shampoo of the highest quality, adapted to the pH of your skin. On the MENFORSAN website you can choose between 15 varieties. You will surely find the most suitable one.
MENFORSAN, the leading manufacturer of hygiene products for pets in Spain, has a wide range of canine shampoos. Buy them at www.menforsan.com.
Try to avoid walks in the hottest hours. Cement, sand, stones and other surfaces get very hot in the summer. We do not realize it because we wear shoes, but the extremities of dogs are very exposed and can become burned and suffer painful sores. The hot asphalt in the road can also burn the pads.
Protect them often with the MENFORSAN Pad Protector Gel, which strengthens the horny layer of the legs and increases resistance to rubbing. It is formulated with aloe vera, which has great power to heal and repair wounds. It is recommended to use it in very active animals –working, sportsmen, nervous …– or in those with fragile pads.
