The issue of air conditioning and its effects on pets should be approached with caution. Air conditioning is not harmful in and of itself; in fact, it may be necessary in some cases, but it must be used correctly.
:The Effect of Air Conditioning on Pets
Appropriate Temperature: Like humans, pets have an ideal temperature for comfort. Extremely high or low temperatures can cause stress for them. Air conditioning helps maintain a comfortable temperature, especially during extreme heat waves.
Direct exposure to cold air: The problem lies in direct exposure to cold air for a prolonged period. This can lead to the animal becoming cold or dehydrated in the respiratory system. Therefore, ensure that the animal is not sitting directly under the air vent.
Animal type: Some animals, such as cats and dogs, have thick fur or a flat face (Like pugs), they are more susceptible to heat stress and may therefore need more air conditioning than others.
?Which is better for your pet: air conditioning or summer heat acclimation
The best option is a balance between the two:
Summer heat acclimation (limited): It is important for your pet to be exposed to moderate temperatures so that its body can adapt to seasonal changes. This does not mean leaving it in the blazing sun Rather, allow your pet to go outside during times when the sun is indirect (early morning or after sunset).
Use air conditioning (wisely):
Use air conditioning to maintain a moderate temperature in the house (22-25°C).
Avoid extremely low temperatures.
Ensure your pet has a warm place to escape the cold draft if it feels cold.
Always provide it with sufficient fresh water.
Cats, like humans, lose fluids through sweating and breathing. In hot weather, this process increases, making them vulnerable to dehydration. Dehydration can lead to serious health problems, such as kidney failure. Always provide wet foods rich in fluids to keep your cat hydrated.

When introducing an animal from an air-conditioned space into hot air, it should be done gradually to avoid heat shock.
In short: Air conditioning is a useful tool for keeping pets comfortable and safe in the hot summer. However, it must be used wisely, avoiding direct exposure to cold air, and allowing the animal to safely adjust to normal temperatures. Going off air conditioning completely in the hot summer can put your pet at risk for heat stress, which can sometimes be fatal.
