heat stroke in dogs recognize Prevention & First Aid for Heat stroke

Following on from the last article, I would like once more on the subject of overheating and heat stroke in dogs. The danger is unfortunately often underestimated, and despite all the warnings, it is often the case that dog owners expect their dogs in hot weather either too much physical exertion, or she "very briefly" let in the superheated car. Even if the windows are open, developing within easy driving temperatures up to 60 ° C - even if it seems much cooler outside. Starting at 40 ° C - which are reached in the car really really fast - Connect to circulatory problems. The body responds by increasing blood from inside the body in the outer parts of the body pumped to get it to cool faster. At very high temperatures, this has the unfortunate consequence that vital organs are no longer sufficient blood supply - can lead to shock.

first signs of heat stroke are:

• Strong panting
• excitement
• impaired consciousness
• wobble / balance disorders
• vomiting, cramps
• mucosa and tongue of dog are colored red. (Here's a photo of the police Minden, on the this is to recognize. The dog had been abandoned by his owner in the car. Thanks to an observant passer-by who had noticed the critical condition of the dog, the dog was rescued. The additional responding police officers broke up the car and found to be greatest dog rescue in time. (> The police report to )
  

These signs, the dog needs immediate veterinary care!

Important: The following first aid measures are not intended as self-therapy and can not replace the vet! They serve only to support or as a first aid until the necessary veterinary care and the arrival the veterinarian!

first aid measures should be taken in suspected heat stroke immediately

• The animal in shady, well air-conditioned place without drafts bring
• If the dog is still conscious, water offer
• The animal in wet, cold towels wrap or gently rinse off with cold water (garden hose, shower head). It started at the legs, then stomach, chest and finally the KopfBei upstream of consciousness, the tongue and remove foreign material (eg vomit) from throat will.
• Ideally, the veterinarian immediately if possible, to the dog Come so that the animal can not be transported back in the car must warm. If this is not possible, then he may still be immediately placed in wet towels to the nearest veterinary practice.

Prevention is better than cure! avoid heat stroke:

better than any first aid, it is logical to avoid heat stroke. Sports activities with the dog should move them back into the early morning hours. In the midday heat, rather then just a little turn round, or search for shady paths and take on longer walks with drinking water for the dog. If the dog likes water, swimming or treading water is also a welcome Cooling. However, one must make sure that the dog has not been overheated, and then suddenly plunges into the cool water. And do not forget to respect the algae of the waters, for even lurking here unfortunately dangers for dogs .

If possible, avoid the dog driving a car and especially the Aufenthat in parked car in high summer temperatures. The dog is better off when you get up a little earlier in the morning and takes a long morning walk. Then he is happy and satisfied rather wait in the cool Zuahuse on pet owners to burn so hot in the car, while his two-legged any errands have to make. Does it still not even completely avoid the dog briefly to let in the car, one must note the following:

• sure to consult a fully shaded parking lot!
• windows & sunroof open. (Not just a crack)
• The dog always provide fresh drinking water
• And - despite everything - the dog never longer than 10 minutes in the car let alone!

Another tip: In many cities now have an animal ambulance, which is accessible in emergencies of all kinds around the Clock. It never hurts to just me, getting the number and write them down for emergency or - even better - to save the same in the mobile phone. So you can always quickly in an emergency call for help. (. 24hr Emergency / Trauma First Aid for Dogs and other animals) - For Dusseldorf, for example, the number of the animal ambulance emergency number 0177 is 25 75 92 7 googled just whether it is in your town so there is a pet ambulance and saves you the number for just in case. I really hope that you never need it, but it can not hurt to know the number.

I wish all dogs colleagues a great summer, and caring owners who let their dogs do not unnecessarily burn in the heat in the car. And then I have one request to all two-legged friends: If her somewhere a child, a dog or other animal can see burn in a car, then please go no further just shaking his head. Do not be afraid to call the police if you see that the child or pet in the car is not going well.

soon, your Alex! (Alexander Bömbelmann o)

yourself cooking for the dog (part 2)

Our article " cook for the dog - basic info " many readers seem to like it. Now we get every now and then asking if we no longer write about it, or could even make accurate information about how much to get the dog exactly what. Well, more about the desire writing, we like to come to, but the desire for specific quantities and demand information, we can not meet the best of intentions. For the nutrient and energy needs is simply too different and depends on many factors. Age, race, size and weight of the dog play a role, such as the activity of the dog, any diseases, environmental conditions, etc. (more about this in the article "How much food does the dog?") Specific details such as: " The dog needs as much grams of this and so many grams are to be balanced diet, you can make such sweeping the best will not, because that would simply frivolous.

But now let's face it, dear bipeds: Who expects of you is for himself or his children the exact nutritional needs of exactly to the gram and eats strictly followed? No one. In humans, it is assumed that a varied diet is sufficient in freshly prepared, high quality ingredients, balanced diet to be. And if you look at it and feel healthy and fit all the values in the medical check-ups are in the green area, one can expect to eat a healthy and balanced. And just as we also consider it in terms of the nutrition of the dog. We believe it is true and important, to worry about feeding the dog, but until the last gram will be the need hardly compute it. Therefore, we think: You should take the issue of dog food while serious, but to make crazy does not help further. A certain factor "rule of thumb" is in our view inevitable. And even when feeding commercial food, this factor is necessary since the feeding recommendations of the manufacturer (any variety) are also to be understood only as a rough guide.

Therefore, we can only speak from our own experience. My values were in the final veterinary check-ups are above average and my mistress in mind when cooking for the dog (so, to me, o) is essentially just following seven rules:

• 1) If possible, fresh ingredients of good quality. As we have already mentioned, we prefer organic. Limits or maximum permitted levels of chemical residues in foods are known to be always focused on human consumption. We assume that the people still permissible limits for the dog actually already are too much. We would like to point out, however, that this is only a guess - because the scientific investigation has been, unfortunately, not yet. Nevertheless, we believe that they constantly rising Number of cancers in dogs with food must hang together. Even if the has not yet been scientifically studied and proven. How to vet including -doktor.de is read, after all, suffer twice as many dogs as people with cancer. A fact which gives us food for thought. (Read more in the bottom third of our article "What's in in dog food? )
  

• 2) Varied cooking and feeding. This is not meant to accommodate as many different feed components in a meal. On the contrary, the use of a protein source (Variety meats) per meal, and a variety cereal as an energy source (starch) is according to our information from a nutritional point of view much more sense and improves the digestibility. It is different from the vegetables: here we like to combine. In human medicine, there is proof that a combination of vegetables that grow above ground and those that grow under the earth in green, white and orange help to prevent cancer and other diseases. As I said - in human medicine. Whether the knowledge transferred in this form to the dog, has not been explored. Nevertheless, we believe that it can not hurt and apply it as often as possible.

To Equal to anticipate misunderstandings, we want to say here, do not alter the development of cancer can be prevented. If it does, however, found in the diet of the people as this will help is to prevent cancer and is also recommended in special cancer diet so, then we take the short hand in the dog feeding, and hope - as long as there is no scientific proof had been given - simply to that it applies to the dog. Apart from that I like it! O)

with varied feeding and that means: meat and offal from one variety per meal, a species of cereal, several kinds of vegetables in the above combination. And then as often change the composition of the meals. Plays millet in poultry and vegetables, sometimes fish with rice and vegetables, etc.

• 3) Important: vegetables and meat we cook gently. Seared should be off limits to dogs! Cereals, rice, millet, oats, etc., must be cooked soft.

• 4) Make sure we have regular check-ups, that mistress and do everything right and my values are all OK. My food is roughly matched with our vet on me, but non-calculated exactly up to the gram. Our vet is always good mistress to answer questions, no matter how many questions it my mistress pestering on this subject. O)
  

• 5) There are special vitamin mix / mineral mixtures for dogs that can enforce the self-cooked food. We personally use such means are not. Because to me there simply was not necessary. Instead, there is something salmon-hemp oil, sometimes a little olive oil, canola, corn or sunflower oil, sometimes a few drops of evening primrose oil in the feed. (For example Lund Erland - Evening Primrose Oil 50ml ) on nutritional supplements and the effects of units of varying feed additives but later we will come again in a separate article back and write some more.
  

• 6) If we can not mention that my mum though hard, but everyone else is not for me every day. In between, there are prefabricated lining of Terra Pura (organic feed) on the reports we had in our dog food test ever detail. Sometimes she combined with freshly cooked ready-organic feed. Since Terra Pura and-serve vegetables and 100% poultry meat offers & offal as feed supplement, it is possible to combine fine here as needed to determine the meat content itself and to round the dogs dinner with potatoes, rice or millet. More here about the new foods . Of Herrmann's there, for example, millet flakes, rice flakes or mixtures of vegetables, with which one can even combine organic meat cooked or canned. (For example, food friend -> Men's Supplements ) How is the cook her own support for the dog not a big effort and even on days where time is something scarce, yet feasible.
  

• 7) The only numbers that we call now: For me (Warning - the ratio or the demand can vary from dog to dog) is my mistress mistress, the meat content (including offal) or proportion of fish at 40-60%. The rest will consist of vegetables (30-40%) .. and the rest (about 20-30%, depending on how the other percentages distributed) either from potato, millet, rice, etc. more times in succession. (What many do not know: too high meat content can also be harmful, and only pure muscle meat is also not ideal, it may find muscle meat calm and offal to be included - but ideally all of one species should liver, however, a maximum of 1 to x per week in UK.. menu available.) the vegetable share, we keep quite high, because this is recommended for osteoarthritis and fiber especially important for older dogs. Once a week there for me vegetarian diet instead of meat there either cottage cheese (fresh cheese), an egg, or sometimes Quark or plain yogurt as a source of animal protein. I like it very much and it gets me good.
  

As I said, these are all only our own experience that can not be transferred to generalize to all dogs. For the specific case, we recommend that you seek advice in addition to the vet and detail. On the subject of cooking for dogs, "we are safe here several times back because there are still a lot to write. And besides, I have also still not betray my favorite recipes. O) Also coming soon - promise! For today, but first we have again written enough.
