On hot days, they need to cool enough to drink and also animals. Leos Iron vet told CTK that if you are staying in the garden, it is necessary to provide them with shade and plenty of clean water. The apartment should be adequately ventilated to maintain sufficient moisture and administered to animals with fresh water, not ice. Dogs, cats and guinea pigs can also cool off by wetting them with the owner of hair.

"If the animals are in the garden, it is important to them at the current high temperatures to provide shade. It would have to be shed, where the sun is hiding," he said. Animals should be able to freshen up the outside with fresh water. Iron warned against use of cold water, cooling water or even ice.

Especially breeds with long black hair or need a cool coat. Dogs are good sometimes spill over with tepid water, not cold, to suffer thermal shock. Cats are better just to moisturize hair hands.

Dogs, cats or guinea pigs need to be ventilated and the air is reasonably moist. Water should be constantly available. "Housing animals should rub the fur with water, not directly Poliv, just rub it with a damp cloth or wet hands. He picks up the animal by evaporation and cool," said the vet.

The amount of water that an animal of the day, according to him individually. Depends on the type of food the animal receives - if it is fed with pellets, drink more than animals fed wet food. Factors include the size of the animal, the weather and humidity. "However, breeders have any idea how much the animal drinks per day. If the dose goes up in heat two to three times, it's a natural thing," he said.

Animals are also cool in the heat itself - the dogs have sweat glands, and thus the cooling by accelerated breathing with a lolling tongue. Penetrate into the corner and trying to limit any activity. Cats also do not have sweat glands throughout the body, thereby cooling the lick fur.

If the animal can not cool in the heat, risk of overheating and collapse. The animal can also pass out from heat. The owner would have to put cold compresses, spill some water. If this fails, he should promptly take the animal to the vet.
