Tanner, one of our resident experts behind your pet-related questions is currently on vacation! However, he will be back with the July/August issue to answer all of your animal-y questions, like this one submitted by Ryan, 9, AB:
Q: My dog has A LOT of fur. Will she get too hot in the summer? How can I keep my dog cool?
A: All dogs get hot in the summer, but there are a few easy ways to keep your pet cool. Brush your dog’s coat often to help keep her a little cooler and make sure all the fur that she sheds falls out neatly. Keep your dog in an air-conditioned room as much possible and if she doesn’t want to go outside, don’t force her. Keep plenty of clean, fresh water available inside and outside and place a couple of frozen bottles of water on the floor for her to lie on. And remember, you should never leave your dog in a hot car!
