It is now the hot summer heat, and the air conditioners of many families are starting to operate day and night. If a person stays in an air-conditioning environment for a long time, he may suffer from air-conditioning disease. Similarly, if a dog has been in an air-conditioning environment for too long, he may also suffer from air-conditioning disease. Especially at the hot noon, suddenly taking the dog out of the air-conditioned room or bringing the pet back to the home with air-conditioned room from the outside is more likely to cause air-conditioning disease.

Symptoms

After a dog suffers from air conditioning disease, the main symptoms are sneezing and runny nose, depressed spirit, anorexia, or even not eating or drinking. It looks similar to the symptoms of a cold, but in fact it is much more serious than a cold. In severe cases, the body temperature rises, the breathing and heart rate increase, and even sudden death.
