Guardia Civil Issues Vital Summer Safety Tips for Dog Owners

Madrid, Spain – The Guardia Civil has issued important guidelines for pet owners to ensure the well-being of their dogs during the summer months. In a recent public service announcement, a dog handler from the Guardia Civil emphasized two critical aspects of summer pet care: hydration and paw protection. "With the heat, it is super important that your dog always has water," stated the officer, highlighting the primary need for constant access to fresh water to prevent dehydration. He also advised pet owners to avoid walking their dogs during the hottest parts of the day. "When you go to take your dog for a walk, avoid the central hours of the day," he urged, demonstrating how hot pavement can be to a dog's sensitive paws by placing a hand on the ground. The officer recommended checking the pavement temperature with your hand; if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your dog's paws. These timely reminders from the Guardia Civil aim to help dog owners keep their beloved companions safe and healthy as temperatures rise.
