SHANGHAI: As temperatures in China soar, pet owners are looking for novel ways to protect their four-legged friends from the heat, buying up cooling mats, clothes and miniature sun hats for dogs and cats.
"When we go out, if the temperature is over 30 degrees Celsius, I will put on such cooling attire on my dog," the 31-year-old woman said."The water will evaporate and take away the heat, then it will not be so hot for my dog."Searches on online marketplaces JD.com and Alibaba's Taobao show hundreds of similar sun and heat protection products for dogs and cats costing as much as US$100.
Jacqueline Cha, another Shanghai resident who has three small dogs and owns a pet care business, said this was the first summer she felt the need to use sun protection shirts on her pooches. She also had to adjust their daily walking schedule to avoid peak daily temperatures.in June and July, with temperatures in humid Shanghai topping 37 degrees Celsius and capital Beijing reaching more than 41 degrees Celsius.
Dr Grace Lin, founder and vet director at the Advanced Vet Care animal hospital in Shanghai, said those concerns were well-founded because of the 50 per cent to 56 per cent mortality rate for dogs diagnosed with severe heatstroke.
