How to manage a Bernese Mountain Dog during hot seasons?

Ann | October 22nd, 2009

Bernese mountain dogs are heavily built dogs with black, thick, double coats. Swiss Alps, where this breed is from and where temperature rarely reach 75˚F (23.88˚C) even in the hottest seasons.  The black, thick, double coats absorbs heat from the sun, and they look for shades even on cool days.  Bernese dogs tend to be less active in hot weather and rest in the coolest spot they can find. Owners of these mountain dogs need to provide them with a lot of water if traveling or staying in warm places.

An air-conditioned room should be available if the temperature gets too high for them or a cool basement floor without a rug. Having fans around is also a good idea and if the dog must be left outside, ample shade should be present and access to water always available.  Dog lovers who wish to care for this dog must take the climate conditions seriously for the benefit of the breed and to avoid any inconveniences that may occur if not properly informed.
