How to feed Alaska in summer？
As sled dogs in Alaska, the air is humid, and the hot summer is a rather sad season for them. How should Alaska spend summer? Let's take a look and make summer a little less miserable for dogs in Alaska.
1. Shaving: Unless necessary, it is best not to shave. If it is not for skin diseases, it is best not to shave your dog in summer. Dogs don't have sweat glands, so shaving doesn't make them any cooler. Instead, you get sunburned from direct sunlight. If you must shave your hair, don't shave the skin, leave 3-5 cm.
2. Feeding: The temperature in summer is high, and the food in Alaska is easy to deteriorate and cause food poisoning. Therefore, it is best to feed fresh food that has been heated and protected from cold every day. The amount of feeding should be appropriate and not excessive. Don't be afraid to waste spoiled food, and discard it resolutely. Eating food by mistake in Alaska can lead to food poisoning. Prepare plenty of clean water in summer, and prepare plenty of water when you go out. Let Alaska eat more fruits and vegetables, apples are a good choice. Don't give the dog ice cream or anything. If it is really hot, you can prepare some popsicles made of drinking water (without other things) and let the dog lick them.
3. Going out: When going out, avoid high temperature. In an environment with high temperature and high humidity, Alaska is prone to heat stroke due to difficulty in heat dissipation. Also, don't lock your dog alone in the car. There are not a few dogs who die of heatstroke like this every year. Today, there are dogs in cities and many asphalt and concrete roads. After a day of high temperature exposure, it is easy to burn the dog's foot pads. It should be early in the morning or after the sun has set for a while, and then walk the dog when the road is slightly cooler. After Alaska gets wet from the rain, dry it with a towel in time.
4. Environment: An Alaska home should be located in a cool location. If it is hot, you can turn on the air conditioner at the right time. Make sure the temperature of the air conditioner is not too low and the time is not too long. Prevent moisture, frequently change and dry bedding, etc. When symptoms such as dyspnea, increased skin temperature, and rapid heartbeat are found in Alaska, you should quickly apply a cold and wet towel to the head, move it to a cool and ventilated place, and seek veterinary treatment immediately.
5. Bathing: Summer is the season with a high incidence of dog skin diseases, so outdoor activities should also pay attention to various bugs. Don’t bathe too frequently in summer, about once every ten or ten days, otherwise it will easily damage the dog’s protective oil and make it easier to get skin diseases.
