It is important that your cat can also find a cool retreat in the home. Favourite places are the cellar or the cool tiles in the bathroom. In an attic flat, you should also keep the shutters closed during the day so that the flat doesn't heat up too much. Also make sure that your cat can move around freely so that it can always find the most comfortable place for it.

Although your cat's body is covered all over with fur, cats can still get sunburnt if they are exposed to the blazing sun for too long. This is not only unpleasant, but can also lead to skin cancer - just like in humans. The ears and the bridge of the nose are particularly susceptible.

It is true that many cats lick their fur more often in high summer temperatures to cool themselves down a little. But this cooling is usually short-lived. That's why it's important to be well prepared for the height of summer. How can you do this? By making it easier for your pet to cope with the hot weather and ensuring that they are sufficiently cooled down.

Cats originally come from desert regions and love warm weather. But if the temperature climbs above 30 degrees, life becomes difficult for your kitty too. Because cats only have a few sweat glands on their lips, anus, around the mammary gland and on the pads of their paws, they cannot cool their bodies themselves. That's why they like to go to cool places in summer.

So: You can treat a mild seasonal grass allergy in dogs by simply limiting their exposure. You should also wash your dog's feet after a walk and dry them thoroughly. Regular bathing will also help your dog to remove the nasty pollen from the rest of its coat. Unfortunately, neither of these will help to rid your dog of the allergy...

It is always important that you not only have your dog tested for a pollen or grass allergy, but also for a possible concurrent parasite infestation - or an existing food allergy. Many owners tell the vet that their dogs don't have fleas - but they are often found anyway...

People and dogs react very similarly to allergens: with grass and plant allergies, they suffer from watery eyes, a runny nose and a scratchy throat, which is often associated with hay fever. And they can also develop patches of dermatitis - an itchy rash on the skin. So watch out for these symptoms in your pet!

Important: When it comes to the compulsory use of a lead, always observe the local rules (e.g. protected areas) and of course the local signage. And: Dog breeds that are considered potentially "dangerous" are subject to even stricter regulations. So, it's best to enquire at your destination canton. All clear?
#animastrath #61vitalsubstances #100percentnatural #madeinswitzerland #dogs #compulsoryleads
The Animal Welfare Act states the following: "Dogs must be walked outdoors every day and according to their needs. As far as possible, they should also be able to move around unleashed." At the same time, dogs must be kept on a lead in public areas. Outside these areas, they may always be walked off the lead provided they are under control.

If you occasionally brush your puppy on a table, he will get used to this position - which can be useful for visits to the vet or the groomer. However, please never leave a dog unattended on a table, as it could seriously injure itself if it falls. And if your dog is afraid to sit on a table, simply groom him on the floor.

You should groom your puppy daily, regardless of the length of their coat, although longer-haired breeds will naturally require a little more time and attention. Most dogs really enjoy being brushed and stroked, especially if you start early. In any case, we wish you lots of fun!

When the kittens are born, your cat will immediately start suckling her kittens, producing up to a quarter of a litre of milk a day. This affects their nutritional requirements, which can increase two to threefold. Therefore, let your cat eat as much as she wants during the suckling period. Choose a high-quality, energy-rich food that contains the right nutrients and fatty acids that her body needs.

The longer your cat's pregnancy lasts, the more her energy requirements will increase - generally by around 10 % every week. By the end of the pregnancy, she will need 70 % more energy than normal. You can help her with a high-energy food. However, make sure that the amount of food is not too large so that it could be difficult to digest.

During the first two thirds of pregnancy, your cat will put on a lot of weight. However, she should not gain more than 40 % of her ideal weight; being overweight can lead to complications when the kittens are born and also to health problems in the mother later on. Choosing the right food and feeding it correctly is therefore important - this way you can protect her health and the health of the kittens.

A future mother needs more and more high-quality food to nourish herself and her offspring. However, do not increase the amount of food immediately. In the first four to five weeks of pregnancy, the normal amount of food should be sufficient. Important: Your bitch may also suffer from slight nausea or lose her appetite from time to time; this can happen.
