“How to keep my dog cool in summer heat”
During the summer it is crucial to keep your dog cool in this heat!
Always make sure your dog is hydrated, drinking enough water for your pup and yourself is very important!
Limit exercise during the hottest hours of the day, try to only exercise during the early morning hours or evening!
If your dog is outside provide shady areas and cooling methods!
Make sure they always have access to cool water to drink.
To prevent overheating create cool environments with fans, AC, pools, cooling pads, cooling vests, or even ice packs or ice pools!
Water play is the best way to ensure your dog still gets some exercise but still stays cool!
Pools, splash pads, and sprinklers are wonderful activities!
Regular grooming especially for long haired dogs is also crucial for keeping your dogs cool!
