We are moving to a house near the beach in Maenam next month. Our two dogs Sandy and Pepper are old now, they have lived in a Bangkok condo since puppies. Worried about the heat, sand and bugs. Did anyone move older dogs to the Koh Samui area before? What should we watch?
Older dogs and new bugs in Thailand, think about heartworm and tick meds early. Do short walks in the mornings and evenings only.
Very hot in Maenam in April, make sure the house has tiled floor not carpet. Dogs like cool floor. Mosquito bites can give heartworm, ask vet about prevention. My neighbours dog got bad tick fever last year so be careful.
Get fans or AC in their sleeping area, old dogs overheat easily. Keep fresh water in the shade. Check for ticks after beach walks, it's common there. Also do a vet visit before moving so you have the records.
Dogs get used to new place in 1-2 weeks. Sandy probably will miss the condo for a while but he gets used to it. Dont let them run on the sand too long because hot sand burns paws.
