Safe summertime pet treats with Dr. Gary Richter
SUMMARY: Dr. Gary Richter, a pet nutritionist and founder of Ultimate Pet Nutrition, shares tips on keeping dogs safe and comfortable during summer heat. He emphasizes the importance of limiting dogs' exposure to direct sunlight and avoiding strenuous activity in hot conditions. Signs of heat exhaustion in dogs include tiredness, panting, and weakness, which require immediate attention. Dr. Richter suggests offering frozen treats like carrots or ice cubes made from chicken or beef broth to help dogs stay cool. He also warns against giving dogs foods like grapes or anything containing artificial sweeteners, particularly xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
