SUMMER CARE OF HEAVY COAT DOGS
The main way DOGS regulate their body temperature is through their mouths. Panting allows them to circulate the necessary air through their bodies to cool down. So keeping cold water available for them to drink is imperative to prevent dehydration. If you have concerns about your heavy-coat dog overheating, contact your VETERINARIAN. Also talk to your VETERINARIAN before trying any new cooling techniques, including a haircut.
