Beat the Heat: Summer Dog Care Guide and Hot Spot Relief

Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but it can also bring challenges for our furry friends. Hot weather can lead to dehydration, overheating, and those pesky skin irritations called hot spots. This blog post will equip you with essential summer dog care tips and the ultimate weapon against hot spots: Sulfodene Hot Spot & Itch Relief Spray.

Summer Sun Safety:

  • Hydration is Key: Ensure your dog has constant access to fresh, cool water. Consider carrying a portable water bottle and collapsible bowl on walks.
  • Shady Walks: Schedule walks during cooler mornings or evenings. Avoid midday sun, especially on hot pavements.
  • Cooling Down: Provide cooling options like kiddie pools, cooling vests, or shady spots to rest.
  • Sunscreen (For Some): Light-colored dogs or those with hairless patches may need pet-safe sunscreen on exposed areas.

Hot Spot SOS: Recognizing and Treating the Itch

Hot spots are red, inflamed, and often moist patches of skin caused by excessive scratching or chewing. They typically appear on areas like the head, legs, or base of the tail.

Here's how to identify and address hot spots:

  • Signs to Watch: Look for persistent scratching, licking, or biting at a particular area. Redness, moisture, and hair loss around the spot are telltale signs.
  • Early Intervention is Key: The sooner you address a hot spot, the faster your dog can heal.
  • Treatment: Clip or shave fur around the affected area to allow air circulation. Gently clean the area with a mild antiseptic solution.
