YOUR DOG AND HOT
WEATHER
By Dr. E. M. Gildow
Director, Friskies Research Kennels
According to the Old Farm
er's Almanac, we're in for a hot
summer, so if you’re a dog own
er, it's well to arm yourself with
some canine-cooling know-how.
Refill your pet's drinking dish
often with fresh water during
the course of a hot day. Exer
ckse or work him only in the
cool of the morning and eve
ry rug. If a mid-day trip is neces
sary, keep it short and stick to
the shady side of the street.
A your dog looks particularly
miserable from the h?at spor^e
him clown with cool, Lut A
cold, water.
- u-fost dogs will eai. less, of
their own free will, in hot
weather, so don’t be concerned
if /our pet seems off his feed.
Let your pooch pick his own
spot when temperatures soar.
The bathroom, with its cool tile
floor, or a shady nook under the
ba^k porch are favorite hot
weather haunts. Your pet usual
ly knows vhat’s best for laim, so
bow to his discretion.
Keep a sharp eye on vary old
dogs and young puppies, for
both are especially susceptible
to neat prostration. Evidence of
anxiety weakness or collapse
are signs of heat prostration.
When this happens, your pet
needs a veterinarian’s attention
just as soon as possible. Until
the veterinarian arrives, wet
him down, move him to a cool
spot and supply good ventila
tion. Your veterinarian will
brief you on the i^ oper care and
treatment after he has examined
your pet.
