Not So Much"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Ah yes, the summer is finally here. School is out, and it\u2019s time to show off that summer body that you\u2019ve been working on all year (or for the last week or so). The next couple of months is a time to enjoy the outdoors, and many of us want to spend it with our dog friends. But that might not be the best idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I live in a tropical climate<\/a> area where the weather is consistent year-round, and it\u2019s probably something I take for granted. (I wish we had real winters with snow).<\/p>\n\n\n\n But because high humidity and heat is the norm here, I tend to notice when a dog isn\u2019t enjoying the warmth as much as it\u2019s owner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First off, yes sunshine is good and healthy. The sun\u2019s rays create a natural oil in a dogs skin<\/a> (as well as ours), and the radiation helps to break down the oil to produce Vitamin D (which helps with the maintenance of bones and teeth).<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, since they are covered in fur, the oil can\u2019t naturally be absorbed into their body. Instead, when your pup is licking their fur and self-grooming, they ingest the oils orally.<\/p>\n\n\n
