Your pets can’t ask you to turn on the air conditioning on hot days. This can become a problem as temperatures rise. Dogs can quickly get too hot in the sun. Overheating(过热) is bad for your pets. Every pet owner should learn the signs of overheating and the best ways to restrain it.
Panting(喘气) is one way animals like dogs and cats regulate their body temperature. Some panting is normal, but heavy panting could mean your pet is dangerously hot. Bright red or blueish gums(带蓝色的牙龈) are also a sign a dog has been in the heat for too long (for cats, dark red or gray gums are a sign of overheating).
If you notice that your animals are overheating, take them to the vet(兽医) right away. At the same time, you can cool them down by bringing them to a cool place and giving them water to drink if they are able to.
Even if your pets aren’t overheated, keeping them in a cool place on hot days can prevent a sudden visit to the vet. It’s also wise to keep walks short during the summer and make sure the place where your pet sleeps indoors is cool. If you take your pets with you on car trips, never leave them in the car alone—even for short periods.
