Hot weather affects all dogs, but did you know certain features make some pups more vulnerable to the heat? 🤔☀️⁣
⁣
👃Breeds with short noses and flattened mouths, such as Pugs, Boxers, and Shih Tzus, can have a bit more difficulty breathing during the summer. ⁣
⁣
🐶 Labs, Siberian Huskies, and Bernese Mountain Dogs have double coats, which makes them more susceptible to heat-related issues. Hot air gets trapped under the thick layers of fur, making it more difficult to regulate their temperature. ⁣
⁣
😎 Keeping your pup cool during summer is important for their health and wellbeing. Keep clean, fresh water nearby in a shaded area, and use a damp towel on the floor and/or a fan to cool them down. ⁣
⁣
🧡 Swing by Dogtopia this summer so your pup can enjoy uninterrupted playtime in our climate-controlled playrooms. We also offer comfortable boarding stays if your pup needs overnight relief from the heat! ⁣
