Beware of Water Intoxication

Summer is officially here! With the hot weather and summer holidays upon us, there are lots of opportunities for outdoor activities that involve WATER!

Dogs love to play in the water or with water, but did you know that if dogs play in the water for too long, they run the risk of developing symptoms of water intoxication?

Yes - too much water can cause a lot of health damage to a dog. Just as not having enough water (dehydration) can also cause health damage.

Although dehydration in dogs happens more frequently than water intoxication, I have got quite a few messages from visitors to my site that their dogs had actually experienced water intoxication.

This summer, for your dog's safety, please take extra care when letting your dog play in the water.

Read this article to find out more about the symptoms and danger of water intoxication.

Sunscreens for Dogs

While we are on the topic of "out in the sun", I would like to remind you that dogs can get sunburn as well - especially in the belly.

There are quite a few sunscreens made especially for dogs. But are they actually safe for use? What exactly are in such sunscreens?

Find out more here.

Aloe Sunburn Spray for Dogs

If your dog has been out in the sun with no sunscreen protection, you may end up having a red, crispy "hot dog"!

Seriously, sunburn on the belly can be painful for the dog. Here is a soothing and cooling aloe sunburn spray recipe for use in such situations.

You need:

28 g (1 oz) aloe vera gel

2 drops Lavender essential oil

2 drops Helichrysum essential oil

2 drops Roman Chamomile essential oil

Blend the gel and the oils in a 30 ml (1 oz) spray bottle. Shake the blend every time before use. Gently spray the blend directly on the burned area.

You can use this spray on small kids as well!

Product Pick - 4 Paws Recovery Cream

4 Paws Recovery Cream

Sometimes in the summer, walking on hot asphalt roads may cause your dog's paws to dry out or, in more serious cases, cracked.

This Recovery Cream contains skin nourishing wax, castor oil and shea butter, as well as vitamin E, herbs calendula and white oak bark. All very soothing and skin healing ingredients.

A must-have in your dog's first-aid kit!

Until next time, have a great summer!
