From hydration levels to energy needs, the summer months demand a specific nutritional approach for your pet. By understanding the importance of proper nutrition and making informed choices, you can help your furry friend stay cool, comfortable, and healthy throughout the hot season. Let's dive in and discover how to beat the heat for your pet with the perfect food choices.
- Incorporate Hydration
Water is a MUST in your pet’s diet, especially in Dubai’s unforgiving Summer heat. Make sure cool, room-temp water is always available for them so that they can stay hydrated.
Let’s move on to another unorthodox way of incorporating hydration into your pet’s diet; food. Ensure your pet gets a balanced diet with both wet and dry food. Wet food has a higher water content compared to dry kibble, making it excellent for keeping your pet hydrated. The moisture in wet food helps maintain your dog's fluid balance and overall hydration. There are numerous food options available in various flavors and textures to cater to your pet’s preferences at Petzi making it the perfect go-to when buying it.
- Treats, Treats and More Treats!
Fun time shouldn’t end in the Summers, especially for our pets. Give them snacks that are low on sugar and calories to avoid build-up of thirst. Another good option is dental sticks that not only keep your pets, especially dogs, preoccupied but also reinforce dental health.
Keep your pets happy and have them look forward to these small snacks as a way to keep them entertained and in good health.
- That Smells Good!
Don’t you just love the idea of gobbing down a juicy burger? Or maybe delving into a cheesy pizza? Well, your pets love these sorts of appetizing food too.
Sometimes your pet’s appetite may go down in harsh weather and in order to avoid this, offer them enticing food as well as access to room-temp water. You can try some of Petzi’s selection and ensure that your furry friend is eating right and has an increased appetite due to the enticingness of our products.
Consult a veterinarian for their professional evaluation if the decreased appetite persists with any other concerning symptoms.
- Not Too Much
Pet’s appetites become a roller coaster in the high heat and may cause an increase in appetite as well. When your pet falls under the category of an increased appetite, it’s important to be mindful of the calories they are consuming in order to avoid weight gain and possible obesity.
It’s highly recommended to use food that has a lower calorie and sugar count and is more nutritious and filling than your usual choice. Luckily, Petzi has a wide array of nutrient-dense and fulfilling food options for your pet that can be the perfect addition to their Dubai’s Summer diet (because Dubai’s Summer is far worse than normal Summers).
- Quality Makes All The Difference
Food should be nothing less than of premium quality, especially if it’s for your furry friend that you love more than life itself. You may think ingredients and their quality may not matter in pet food, but it does and it changes the game.
Higher-quality pet food is a more healthier and more nutritious option that makes sure your furry companion lives a long life. Make sure your pet’s food is both fresh and delicious, prepared only with the best ingredients.
Don’t let Dubai’s Summers take a toll on your furry friends and ensure that they stay hydrated, healthy and happy through the course of these few harsh months. Shop our range online right now if you’re interested!
