Cooling products for the dog to prevent overheating!

Are you looking for cooling products for human use ? Check out our website www.koelproduct.nl

Did you know that dogs can only regulate their body temperature by panting and sweating through the pads? Dogs do have no sweat glands, making them very susceptible to overheating or a heat stroke. This can cause very serious damage to the organs or in extreme cases of overheating lead to their deaths.

It is therefore a good idea to help your dog to cool off, especially at higher temperatures. Of course you can go swim with your dog in a lake or the sea. Also, you can cool your dog by throwing water over it. However, this will not always be possible. There are several cool products available that you can use to prevent overheating of your dog.

Do not leave your dog in the car

A car acts like a greenhouse, leaving the dog in sunny or warm weather can be extremely dangerous. Parking the car in the shade and leave the windows open will not lead to lower temperatures in the car. As the sun turns , a car parked in the shade can suddenly be in the full sun.

In full sunlight, the temperature in the car will reach within 10 minutes more than 50 degrees .... and your dog will be confined in a furnace. In no way it can cool down and it will soon go into shock. If you are not there on time, the dog dies a horrible death by the high temperature, as the blood thickens and can not circulate any more. The blood is then thickened by the solidification of the white blood cells by the high temperature. Your dog will lose consciousness. Because blood carries little oxygen, the dog will choke.

If the dog is still found alive, it may survive, but with a high risk of damage to the brains and kidneys.

Long walks in the sun

Walking the dog in the sun is not a good idea. If you are walking on a hot road (asphalt, concrete, but also stone) the dog's foot pads will form large blisters: these are moist in hot weather. This is very painful for the dog that will suffer a long time. It is much better is to walk the dog in the sun in grass, at a slow pace. If your dog is not used to long distances, leave him at home in a cool place.

Cycling with the dog

Is it warmer than 18 degrees? Then you must not let your dog run with the bike. Firstly, the dog's body temperature will soon be too high at risk of overheating. But the warm pavement forms a danger: the soles of the dog are moist in hot weather because they dissipate body heat. On such a hot pavement, large blisters will be formed which is very painful for your dog.

In summer, only in the early morning and maybe late night is a good time for cycling with your dog. The advice is to monitor the temperature of your dog closely, and to prevent possible overheating.

A cool swim?

Swimming can lead to the cooling of the dog, but not for every dog. Dogs with a thick, long coat face danger while swimming: the wet hair can fester and cause overheating.
