Find out here what simple measures you can take to keep your four-legged friends safe and protected from the sun!
Summer is in full swing and many of us are looking forward to going on outings with our four-legged friends or going on a well-deserved vacation. But while we enjoy the sun, we should also think about protecting our pets, especially if they are traveling in the car. UV rays and high temperatures can be dangerous for our faithful companions.
In this article, you will learn why sun protection is important for pets in the car and what measures there are to protect them.
Why is sun protection important for pets in the car?
Cars can heat up quickly in direct sunlight. Even when the outside temperature is mild, the inside temperature of a parked car can rise to dangerous levels in a short time. Dogs and other pets cannot sweat as effectively as humans, making them more susceptible to overheating.
UV rays can not only damage the skin of humans, but also that of animals. Dogs with light-colored coats or no undercoat are particularly susceptible to sunburn, especially on sensitive areas such as the nose and ears. Long-term exposure to UV rays can increase the risk of skin cancer in pets. It is therefore important to take preventative measures to protect their skin.
Sun protection yes, but how?
- One of the easiest ways to reduce UV rays in the car is to use sun screens or sun-blocking films. These can help to minimize direct sunlight and keep the car cooler
- There are special sun creams designed for dogs and other pets. These products are usually waterproof and offer protection from UV rays. Be sure to choose a product that is suitable for animals and follow the application instructions carefully.
- If you are traveling with your pet in the car, make sure the air conditioning is working and the vehicle is well ventilated.
