What effect does the weather have on animals?

Recently, the weather in Wuhan has entered the "all 30- 15" mode, and the temperature has changed greatly. A few days ago, the sun was scorching, and it rained cats and dogs in a blink of an eye. Such drastic temperature changes will not only affect people's health, but also affect the health of pets. Today we will take a look at what pet owners need to pay attention to when the weather changes!

temperature

Whether in the south or the north, the rain after the big sun can always drop the temperature by several degrees. This is relatively comfortable for most people and pets. However, if the pets at home are short-haired, hairless, old or young, sick, pregnant or nursing, it is recommended to prepare a small blanket or a warm nest for the pets to avoid catching a cold due to sudden cooling.

humidity

The continuous spring rain will make the air humidity jump. At this time, it is also a time when household items are prone to mildew. Pet owners need to take good care of their pet food. If you can't finish the canned food after opening it, put it in the refrigerator as soon as possible. Dry food should also be kept in a dark and ventilated environment, or kept in a closed container. Pet owners should pay attention to the fact that moldy food is not edible. It is suggested that the food should be packaged and discarded as soon as possible after it is found moldy to avoid pets eating by mistake.

High humidity can also lead to dry clothes and moldy items, and long-term humidity in living areas can easily cause pet skin diseases. Therefore, when the weather is good, the owner can open the window for ventilation and reduce the indoor humidity. If it rains continuously, you can choose the dehumidification function of dehumidifier or air conditioner to reduce the risk of mildew.

Embark on a journey

Pet owners are not advised to take their pets out when it rains! The recent rainfall is often accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds. Pet owners can take their pets out when the weather improves, or appropriately increase their indoor interactive play time. If it rains when you go out, you'd better take shelter in the building. Don't shelter from the rain under trees, telephone poles or outdoor billboards.

It's best to detour when encountering stagnant water sections (especially unfamiliar stagnant water sections, we don't know the depth of stagnant water, and we don't know whether there will be gravel blocks or pits in stagnant water, so it is easy to be dangerous to force through).

If you get wet when you go out, you need to check whether your pet's fur needs to be dried when you get home.

If you walk through the stagnant water section, you need to clean and check the dog's paws after you go home to see if there is any trauma.
