Consejos para cuidar a tu mascota este verano

Tips for taking care of your pet this summer

A pet must have a good diet, hydration and proper hygiene. As they say, it is one more member of the family and you must provide all the care to ensure a good quality of life. Hygiene, whether it involves dogs or cats, is the owner's responsibility and, nowadays, there are a large number of products for them.

Basic habits for the hygiene and well-being of your pet

The best way to prevent possible infections is daily hygiene. Therefore, healthy habits must be adopted and patience is required, as some pets are more resistant than others to these cares.

Next, we are going to offer some tips to ensure the well-being of your pet. Also, remember that there are countless tricks and games that can be implemented to make these cares more enjoyable and satisfactory.

  • Daily brushing. It is necessary for the owner to brush their dog or cat every day. The fur is a source of infection because animals play and roll around in the grass and sand, making it very easy to accumulate dirt.
  • Occasional bath. Undoubtedly, bathing is much more necessary for dogs, although it is not recommended during the first months of life. On the contrary, cats are much cleaner and tend to avoid water. Therefore, it should only be done if it is really necessary.
  • Deworming. Fortunately, there is a large number of hygiene products on the market to deworm cats and dogs. These are chemical solutions, which are prepared in lotions or in collars.

When grooming your pet, special attention must be paid to certain areas, as they are much more vulnerable than others, such as the ears, eyes, paws, or nails. In fact, in most cases, these mentioned areas are exposed to accumulating more dirt or bacteria. Additionally, special care must be taken in how we perform this cleaning, as it is very difficult for the animal to stay still for a long time.

The importance of a good diet in pets

A good diet is synonymous with health and happiness in our domestic animals. There are countless foods and feeds from a large number of brands, and the market offers a great variety to cover the tastes and needs of the animals, in addition to choosing them based on age.

On the other hand, there are those who choose to prepare homemade food. At no time is this idea discarded; however, the adequate nutrients are not always included. For this reason, a supplement that covers the needs would be sufficient for proper nutrition.

A good diet extends the life expectancy of pets. It doesn't matter if it's dogs, cats, turtles, or fish, what matters is what they eat. Moreover, choosing quality food positively influences their external appearance. To begin with, this will be reflected in a soft coat, strong teeth, and bright eyes, among other details of their appearance.

Constant hydration, a source of health

Most pets, especially dogs, enjoy a lot in open and outdoor spaces. They play, jump, run, and expend a lot of energy. In areas with good weather and when the summer season arrives, the climatic conditions are much more favorable. However, as it gets hotter, it is most common that they need to drink water more frequently.

One must never forget the importance of correct hydration in the animal, especially in these hotter times. In fact, it is as important as nutrition. It is not only enough to offer them the water they need to avoid panting, but also not to overexpose them to the sun.

An animal receives liquid through various means, such as water from the bowl, dry food, which contains about 10%, or the intake of wet rations, whose content is 80%. For example, a dog that consumes wet food will drink less water.

However, the need for water also depends on the pet's weight. In the case of dogs, it is at 60 ml per kg. It is essential to consider this indicator because the intake influences the proper functioning of the metabolism.
