It's much easier to keep your dog free of those annoying warm weather parasites when his coat is short. Fleas and ticks are easier to see and treat. If your dog has a full-hair coat and lives in air conditioning or regularly lies on a cool surface, his coat can slow down cooling. The fur can also reduce cooling after he has been wet down with water. Brush your dog’s coat thoroughly and regularly, ideally every day, if you remove the loose hair, air will be able to circulate more effectively at his skin level which will help to cool his body. Give him access to fresh cold water at all times, he may enjoy ice cubes added to his water bowl from time to time. Provide your dog with shelter in an area shaded from direct sunlight. If the outside temperature is higher than your dog’s body temperature of 100-103 degrees, then he will struggle to keep cool, under these circumstances, bring him indoors.
