With the warm season spring-summer, when the weather begins to become milder and the days get longer, the desire to go out and practice outdoor activities also increases. However, we must pay attention to some precautions to be taken for the new season to come, which in some cases may concern the health of our four-legged friend.
The increase in temperature and outdoor activity, especially for more active dogs, increases the need to hydrate more frequently. The advice is therefore to always make available clean water for dogs, preferably carrying a bottle and a bowl in which it can drink, so as not to let the dog drink in any unsafe water source. Therefore, avoid puddles of water that can be sources of bacteria and contamination.
To provide support to your dog and prepare him for the warmer season, it is also advisable to adapt the diet. During the meals of the dog in this period it is advisable to prefer complete mono-protein foods, that is with a single protein source, based on fish that will give him a healthy and shiny coat and the right amount of energy to face intense days outdoors without weighing them down. As for us humans, in addition, dogs also derive many benefits from the consumption of fruit and vegetables, which thanks to the high content of fiber and water, can also be a cure-all for our furry dogs at the change in temperature.
Diet Fish Herbs is a valuable ally to prepare dogs for the arrival of summer. Thanks to its light formulation with fresh salmon croquettes, vegetable flakes and steamed legumes, enriched with aromatic herbs including parsley and rosemary, sources of Calcium and Iron, it represents a valid support for its digestive system and for changing the suit. . The precious properties of salmon, rich in Omega 3, will make its coat stronger and more shiny.
For our four-legged friends who for clinical reasons or simply out of habit cannot or want to upset their diet even a quick integration of Diet Flakes, for the sweet tooth, or Diet Flakes Herbs, for dogs suffering from dermatitis, at any time meal will help prepare the body to face the summer with energy and vitality. In fact, thanks to its natural blend of fibers and vegetables, it performs an effective dietetic-purifying function.
The warm season also invites to walks in green areas, meadows or fields. Even plants, however, can be a source of annoyance for our animal. It is good to pay attention to small pitfalls during physical activity in the open air in this season, especially in the periods of June and throughout the summer, dictated by the presence of small wild ears similar to those of wheat, commonly called « forasacchi » , composed of very small hooks that manage to sneak under the skin of the animal in various parts of the body. Quickly intervening when the ears of corn are still visible on the animal’s fur is essential, since they can sneak up on all parts of the animal’s body and when they stick into the dog’s nose, ears or eyes they can cause serious harm for his health.
Moreover, in the spring-summer parasites and insects such as fleas, ticks, mosquitoes and parrots see their maximum development. It is therefore advisable to carry out a preventive anti-parasite treatment against these external ones.
With these little notions in mind and paying attention to a light and balanced diet, the arrival of summer will no longer be afraid and we could give ourselves unforgettable moments together with our faithful four-legged friends!
