Alaska Dog

As a sled dog, Alaska has a humid atmosphere and hot summer weather. It is a rather uncomfortable season for them. How to spend the summer in Alaska? Let’s take a look with the editor of Boqi below, so that Alaskan dogs will suffer less in summer.

1. Shaving: It is best not to shave unless necessary. If it is not due to skin diseases and other problems, it is best not to shave your dog in summer. Dogs don’t have sweat glands, so shaving them won’t make them colder. Instead, it will burn your skin due to direct sunlight. If you must shave, do not shave close to the skin, leaving 3-5 centimeters.

2. Feeding: The temperature is high in summer, and food in Alaska easily deteriorates, causing food poisoning. Therefore, it is best to feed fresh food that has been heated and treated to prevent coldness every day. The feeding amount should be appropriate and there should be no surplus. Don't be afraid of wasting food that has spoiled and throw it away. Eating it by mistake may lead to food poisoning. In summer, you must prepare a large amount of clean water, and you must prepare plenty of water when you go out. Let Alaska eat more vegetables and fruits, and apples are a good choice. Don't give ice cream to dogs. If it's really hot, you might as well prepare some popsicles dried in drinking water (without adding other items) and let the dog lick them instead of throwing them to chew.

　3. Going out: You should avoid times of high temperature when going out. In Alaska, in an environment with high temperatures and high humidity, it is easy to suffer from heat stroke due to the difficulty in dispersing body heat. Also, be sure not to lock your dog alone in the car. A large number of dogs die from heatstroke every year. Nowadays, dogs are raised in cities, and there are many asphalt and cement pavements. Such pavements are exposed to high temperatures all day long, which can easily burn the meat pads of dogs' feet. It should be done early in the morning or after the sun has gone down for a while, and then wait for the pavement to cool down slightly. Go walk the dog. After getting wet from the rain, wipe the Alaska immediately with a towel.

4. Situation: The Alaskan house should be located in a cool place. If it is very hot, you may want to turn on the air conditioner at an appropriate time. To protect the air conditioner, the temperature should not be too low and the time should not be too long. To prevent moisture, bedding and other bedding should be changed and dried frequently. When you find that Alaska has difficulty breathing, increased skin temperature, rapid heartbeat and other symptoms, you should quickly apply a cold wet towel to your head, move it to a cool and breathable place, and ask a veterinarian for treatment when you are independent.

5. Bathing: Summer is the season when dog skin diseases are most common. You must also pay attention to outdoor sports to avoid all kinds of bugs. summerDon’t bathe too frequently. Just wash once every ten or more days is enough. Otherwise, it is easy to damage the dog’s protective oil and make it easier to get skin diseases.
