Japanese summers are getting hotter every year. From walking schedules and living environments to managing your dog's body temperature, you are forced to temporarily change your lifestyle. However, depriving your dog of exercise and refreshing outings only leads to stress for both the dog and the owner.
In the summer issue of 'Shi-Ba' (Vol. 140), we introduce summer survival strategies practiced by actual owners, lifestyle improvement techniques from experts, indoor spots where you can go without worrying about the heat, and recipes for summer-fatigue-fighting meals and treats. We have gathered ideas to make this the 'best summer' ever.
'I want my dog to have a comfortable summer!' What are the tricks practiced by owners?
As temperatures rise, the discomfort index and the risk of heatstroke for dogs increase. However, considering dogs that 'go to the bathroom outside' or the stress of the dog, it is difficult to stop walking completely. We introduce the ingenuity that owners practice to overcome the summer happily while increasing comfort as much as possible, not to mention heat countermeasures.
