Hey, Happy Wednesday! I don’t know what it was like where you are but July where I live was scorching — I believe the hottest on record — and my dog hated
it. He definitely runs hot. (I'm convinced he thinks the weather is our fault.) He does obvious things like hug the shade, lie down in cool grass, and throw himself into any accessible cold water. He probably sleeps more, too.
(This is not my dog) We also make changes to his life and routine. We never take him out in the midday sun, encourage him to drink more and try to keep one room
in the house cool for him. But we don’t change his diet. He gets fed the same amount of the same food in July as he does in January. Which is odd, isn’t it? Because I know my diet changes with the seasons and the weather. I go from
stews to salads, dark ales to pale ales. It's the same for most people. It made me think: Should I be changing what or how much he eats according to the climate?
So, we spoke to our
in-house nutritionist, Laura Ward, and came up with this interesting read: Should Seasons Affect Your Dog’s Diet?
(Spoiler: We included a
different kind of ‘season’ in there, too.)
Have a read and let me know what you think. It’ll give me something to read while I eat ice-cream.
Until next time, Andrew Editor
