6. Special reminder from experts
The Beijing Pet Medical Association’s summer pet health guide released in June specifically emphasized that dry air-conditioned rooms in summer can easily cause dry eyes in pets. It is recommended to keep the ambient humidity at 50%-60% and avoid letting dogs directly face the air conditioning vents.
Finally, I would like to remind all pet owners that although there are various care plans on the Internet, if the redness around the dog’s eyes lasts for more than 24 hours or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is important to consult a professional veterinarian in time to avoid delaying treatment.
