Summer is quite difficult for cats and dogs, and it is stuffy and hot, and has poor appetite. There is no place to have fun in broad daylight. What's even more terrible is that there are hateful skin diseases that don't come early or late, but they come to you at this time. Why do dogs tend to get fungal skin diseases in summer? Next, the editor will share with you the treatment methods for fungal skin diseases in dogs!

1. Due to the high temperature in summer and strong ultraviolet radiation, many owners like to shave off their dog's hair. Originally, the outer layer of the dog was used to protect the hair and could isolate the temperature, but now it is easy to get skin diseases if the skin is burned by direct sunlight.

2. Fungi will reproduce wildly due to the advantages of high temperature and high humidity in summer. It is caused by shaving again, which will cause the skin to directly contact with bacteria in the environment. When walking your dog, you will have more opportunities to get in touch with parasites in the environment.

3. In order to cool down pets, owners may bathe them frequently. Many owners believe that this can both cool down and avoid interference from diseases such as parasites. However, it is not. The layer of sebum outside the pet's epidermis has a certain defensive effect on the surface of the skin. Frequent bathing will destroy this barrier. The animal's skin is very thin, and washing it too frequently will inevitably damage the skin. Of course, if you don’t take a bath for a long time, it will be harmful to your skin.

4. Due to the hot weather, pets are mainly distributed in the peripheral area in order to dissipate heat, resulting in insufficient blood supply in the gastrointestinal tract, poor appetite, and a large amount of drinking water dilutes gastric acid, causing further decrease in appetite. The lack of nutrients and energy supply in the body leads to insufficient resistance.

5. Pets have heat stress in a hot environment and their immunity is relatively weak, which makes some harmful bacteria or parasites take the opportunity to invade the body, such as common demodex and Malassezia. They were originally parasitized normally on the hair follicles and the body surface and did not harm the body. However, when the body's immunity is low, they will take advantage of the situation to breed in large quantities and make the pet sick.

Once we know the reason, we can prepare accordingly and take a look at the treatment methods for dog fungal skin diseases. It is important to prevent bacteria and mites from finding dogs.
