🌞🐾 Summer is here, and keeping your Smooth Portuguese Podengo Pequeno safe and happy in the heat is crucial! Did you know their short coat helps regulate temperature, but they can still overheat quickly? Here’s what to keep in mind this season to ensure your pup stays cool and comfortable.

1️⃣ Provide plenty of fresh, cool water at all times.
2️⃣ Avoid outdoor play during peak sun hours (10am-4pm).
3️⃣ Use shaded areas or cover spots in your yard to protect from direct sunlight.
4️⃣ Watch for signs of overheating like excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy.
5️⃣ Before walks, check for hot surfaces that can cause burns. Paws are sensitive.

Safety first for your energetic little explorer! 🌿💧
