Share
Summer is coming!
We've got some easy tips and tricks to help you keep your pets cool!
You may have heard that pets can't sweat the same way humans do. Not all of them have large ears to release heat either. Definitely not all breeds live in climates that are ideal for their fur type either (hello huskies in the tropical countries!).
Here are eight super easy tips and tricks that can help you keep your pup more comfortable when the summer heat really rolls in!
8 Tips for Cool Pups:
- Keep your pup well hydrated: make sure he has easy access to cool water at all times
- Adjust your walk times: avoid taking your pups out for walks during the hottest times of the day to avoid overheating
- Fans: just like you and me, a fan can make all the difference!
- Cooling Mats: use cooling mats for them to rest on or even damp towels for the DIY version
- Sunscreen: use the dog-friendly kind of sunscreen to avoid sunburns!
- Pupsicles: cold treats are just as enjoyable for your pup as they are for us when we're in high summer
- Stick to the shade: direct sun is not easy on a furry body and hot pavement can burn those precious paws!
- Water hose: play with your water hose to keep your pet cool and burn off some of that energy safely, without overheating!
BONUS TIP: go to the dog beach!
