Summer can be tough on pets, bringing a host of issues that can make them uncomfortable and even lead to serious health concerns. As temperatures rise, it’s essential to take extra precautions to keep them safe, cool, and happy.
1. Dehydration & Heatstroke
Hot weather can quickly lead to dehydration and heatstroke in pets, especially if they don’t have constant access to fresh water and shade. Signs of heat exhaustion include excessive panting, drooling, lethargy, and vomiting.
Prevention:
• Always provide cool, clean water and shaded resting areas.
• Avoid walking them on hot pavements during peak sun hours.
• Use cooling mats, fans, or damp towels to help regulate body temperature.
2. Itchy, Dry Skin & Allergies
The combination of heat, humidity, and environmental allergens can trigger skin issues, causing excessive scratching, redness, and irritation.
Prevention:
• Bathe them with a gentle, moisturizing shampoo like Jumbo Regal Shampoo, which contains Sage, Oatmeal, Aloe Vera, and Apple Cider to soothe sensitive skin.
• Wipe their paws and coat after outdoor walks to remove allergens.
• Ensure they stay hydrated to maintain healthy skin.
3. Fleas, Ticks & Parasites
Warm weather creates the perfect environment for fleas, ticks, and other pests to thrive, leading to discomfort and potential infections.
Prevention:
• Use flea and tick protection regularly.
• Keep bedding and play areas clean.
• Groom them frequently to check for parasites.
4. Low Energy & Poor Appetite
Pets may eat less and feel sluggish due to the heat, which can impact their overall health and weight.
Prevention:
• Offer a nutritious diet with Jumbo Feed Plus Probiotic, which supports digestion and immunity.
• Serve fresh, hydrating foods like cucumber, watermelon (without seeds), and yogurt.
• Ensure they get light exercise in the early morning or evening when temperatures are cooler.
5. Dull & Dirty Coat
Sweat, dust, and increased outdoor activity can make their coat look dull and unkempt, leading to irritation and matting.
Prevention:
• Regular grooming with Jumbo Regal Shampoo helps maintain a clean, healthy coat.
• Use a soft brush daily to remove dirt and loose fur.
• Trim excess hair to improve ventilation.
