What should I do if my golden retriever is too hot in summer?

Golden Retrievers are active and outdoor dogs, but in hot summer weather, dogs are susceptible to heat stroke and owners need to take appropriate measures to protect them from the effects of hot weather. Here are some summer protection measures for golden retrievers:

1. Maintain indoor ventilation: In the hot weather of summer, it is very important to provide appropriate indoor habitat, sleeping and drinking environment for golden retrievers. It is recommended to keep the air conditioning and ventilation system on at home to provide a cool sleeping environment for the Golden Retriever, and to provide the Golden Retriever with a spacious enough mattress to ensure that the Golden Retriever feels cool and comfortable when the temperature is high.

2. Maintain adequate water intake: Golden retrievers need more water to keep their bodies hydrated in hot weather. It is recommended to maintain a supply of fresh water at all times and to check the water level of drinking fountains frequently. You can try to help your golden retriever increase the amount of water it drinks. Adding some water-rich foods (such as vegetables and fruits) will help.

3. Adjust the exercise plan: In the hot summer climate, the amount and scope of exercise of the golden retriever should be appropriately reduced, and sun exposure and excessive exercise should be avoided. Sometimes golden retrievers’ exercise time is arranged in the morning or evening to avoid the impact on their health during the high temperature period during the day. At the same time, if you need to go out for a walk or engage in outdoor activities, prepare clean cold water for him to carry and feed him appropriately.

4. Create an environment for golden retrievers: In areas where golden retrievers live or move, create a shady environment to avoid exposure to the scorching sun and high-temperature air, so as to protect golden retrievers from sunlight radiation and damage. Some small water-loving gardens or swimming pools can also provide cooling and relaxation activities for golden retrievers.

In short, dogs are very sensitive in hot weather in summer and are susceptible to heat stroke and hunger and thirst. The owner should take appropriate measures to create a cool and comfortable environment for the golden retriever, replenish water, reasonably adjust the amount of exercise, and bathe and brush the golden retriever regularly.
