Outside Dogs and the Rain

vet East Dallas TX

Does your dog stay outdoors most of the day? If so, make sure he has enough shelter to protect him against the elements including the hot sun, excessive wind, and most importantly the rain. Dogs that are used to living outdoors will most likely not mind the rain, but they need to have a place to go to get out of the rain if it becomes a heavy downpour. Dogs that aren’t used to being outside should be brought in for the day especially if there is going to be rain. If you do leave your dog outdoors, adequate shelter that should be available can include a dog house, a covered porch or carport, a covered dog run or kennel area, etc. Small sheds without doors also work. Anything to provide protection from the elements and is inviting and not intimidating should work. Talk to your vet East Dallas, TX for tips.
