Summer days really do bother your dog. And, did you know that the increasing heat can be influenced to your doggy's health?

Where there is high temperature, high-humidity and spoiled air, your pet's body temperature increases quickly. This is a critical situation that needs to be concerned.

• How does you dog's body temperature go high?
  
  
  
  When you put your dog inside your car and leave without keeping your car doors and shutter open, the inner temperature of the car get increased. Meanwhile, your pet's body temperature also gets high.
  
  Even not in a sweaty climate, but in a relative high-temperature environment, your dog will feel uneasy.
  
  When you walk your dog on an extremely sunny day, for a long distance and when you make him exercise unnecessarily for a long time period, without your knowledge, your pet's body temperature will eventually get higher.
  
  And also, your doggy's genetic diseases may also get influenced to increase its body temperature.
