Dogs are prone to skin diseases in summer. For example: some owners feel that it is very hot in summer, so they will shave their hair, thinking that this will make the dog cool; and dogs go out to play in summer, and various mosquitoes and fleas can easily cause the dog's skin to be infected. Let's take a look at the specific reasons and coping methods!

1. Mosquito bites

The temperature and humidity in summer are suitable, so it is also the most active time period for various mosquitoes and fleas. Pets are more likely to be invaded by external insects at this time. After mosquitoes and fleas bite cats and dogs, cats and dogs will be extremely itchy. Dogs and cats are not as capable as humans. If they are scratched in transition and are not discovered by their owners in time, and are properly dewormed and treated, they will cause abnormal skin symptoms: hair loss, thickening of the cortex, and thickening of the cortex, etc. In severe cases, skin diseases will occur. Therefore, Zhu Renmen must observe and deworm regularly. Note that regular deworming should be adhered to, including the animal body and its environment. You can also wear a deworming ring.

2. Strong sunlight

The ultraviolet rays and heat energy of the sun are harmful to the human skin, and also have a very strong lethality to the skin of pets. Ultraviolet rays can cause pet skin to deteriorate and lead to skin cancer; because pets have thick fur outside, the sun's heat will damage the pink skin under the hair. If you do not take a bath frequently, it is more likely to cause skin diseases. Therefore, in summer, do not let your pets expose themselves to the sun between 10 am and 3 pm every day, and pay attention to maintaining hygiene in the body, take a bath frequently, and comb more hair. When taking a bath, you can choose to use a special shower gel for pets that prevent skin diseases.

3. Pollen skin allergies

This owner should pay attention to the abnormal relationship between seasons and skin. Try to prevent and prepare medication in advance. Pet hospitals have anti-allergic drugs, and pet owners should seek medical treatment in time

4. Fungi, pests, parasites, etc. will become more active and prone to reproduction and infection under the influence of high temperatures in summer.

5. Shaving

Some owners think that shaving your baby in summer will make it cooler and that the dog will feel more comfortable. In fact, this is not the case. After shaving, the outer skin of the pet store will be more vulnerable to damage, especially under the strong sunlight, high temperatures, and flea mosquitoes in summer. . Therefore, unless you need to treat skin diseases, try not to shave your babies.

In short, in summer, it is necessary to prevent skin diseases: deworming regularly, keep clean and hygienic, rolling less flowers and grass, and reduce exposure to the sun. In addition, let pets drink more water, eat fruits and vegetables, choose fruits and vegetables dog food, and keep skin disease drugs.
