At the seaside with your dog, how to behave?

AT THE SEA WITH THE DOG..🌊🐶
Summer has finally arrived and, like every year, it is time to organize holidays, often in the company of our dogs. To make their experience at the beach pleasant, it is important to take some precautions. The first thing to do is to find a beach that accepts animals, checking that it has shaded areas and a safe seabed.
Taking your dog to the beach requires the same care you would give a child. You need to protect him from sunburn, jellyfish, broken glass and sharp shells, as well as prevent him from ingesting dangerous objects. Salt water can irritate their stomachs, causing vomiting and diarrhea. It is best to take your dog to the beach in the early morning or late afternoon, when temperatures are milder, making sure he always has shelter in the shade.
Never leave your dog unattended and make sure he or she always wears a collar with an identification tag. If your dog is shy, anxious or unsociable, or if she or he is a female in heat, it might be best to avoid the beach. It is also not recommended to take puppies under four months old, as they may not be ready to face such a new environment.
Remember to bring plenty of fresh water and a towel to protect your dog from the hot sand. If the beach is rocky, be aware of dangers such as sharp rocks, barnacles and sea urchins. Always carry a first aid kit and make sure you have a leash, muzzle and your dog's health record.
To avoid health problems, avoid the hottest hours to prevent heat stroke and apply specific sunscreen for dogs, especially if they have light fur. If the dog decides to swim, do not force him and always be present. After the bath, rinse him with fresh water and dry him well to avoid irritation and infections.

Finally, consult your vet before leaving and make sure your dog is up to date with all the necessary vaccinations. And if you want to simplify the organization of meals on vacation, you can opt for Pressure Dog kibble, perfect for a quick and nutritious meal #sea #dogsea #pressure ❤️
