How to handle and protect your dog when it rains
Rain and humidity hide some dangers for the dog, such as parasites, ailments and some problems with the coat. So how can we protect our pet?
In autumn it is a continuous adjustment between the pleasant temperatures during the day, which encourage you to take walks among the warm colors of the season, and the cold ones in the evening.
The period is also characterized by increasingly frequent rains, which in the case of those who have a dog make the desire to go for the usual walk unattractive.
But regardless of the weather conditions, we know well that Fido needs to go out every day, for physiological needs and to stretch his legs and have some fun.
In fact, it should not be forgotten that releasing energy through physical exercise, walking or running in green spaces is essential for the dog’s psychophysical well-being.
As well as it should not be underestimated that these are monthsin which our furry friends can show themselves more anxious due to the change in habits compared to previous ones.
Therefore, avoid drastically reducing your presence and the attention that your dog was accustomed to until recently during the summer period.
So be careful not to get stress e related ailments to which it is no coincidence that dogs are more susceptible during the autumn months.
What precautions to take for our dog
Returning to the risks incurred during humid days, rain or not, the dog must have its moments of going out and having fun.
This is why it is important to protect it correctly by taking all possible precautions before and after walks in the rain.
Like us humans, even our pets are not free from seasonal dangers, in the sense of cold-related ailments and, in their specific case, the proliferation of parasites which is also facilitated by humidity.
Therefore, keeping yourself informed about the risks that the autumn period can pose for our four-legged friends is always better. Indeed, it is almost a duty for the good of our beloved pets.
Fleas, ticks and flukes
The humidity typical of rainy or gloomy days can be a problem for various reasons.
The dog’s wet fur, for example, can take a long time to dry, risking causing small colds or tracheitis.
Humidity, however, is risky not only because it can make our dog ill, but also because it can favor the attack of insidious and annoying enemies such as external parasites such as fleas, ticks and trombicules.
Given that every walk can be an opportunity to encounter this risk, before taking the dog out it would be useful to take all the necessary precautions and inspect the fur upon returning , including the paw pads where the trombicule often settle.
How to protect your dog’s fur from humidity
For all the reasons mentioned above, it therefore becomes necessary to take greater care of our dog.
To do it in the right way, it is necessary to acquire habits that not only allow you to protect it from parasites and any ailments, but also to prevent or intervene to resolve annoying problems that could affect his coat.
So in these rainy months, often inspect your dog’s coat to make sure it hasn’t picked up fleas, ticks or flukes.
Take advantage of doing it at the time of brushing, which in the autumn season, moulting period, they must be done more frequently.
