Keeping Your Dog Cool In Hot Weather
Provide Ample Water
: Ensure your dog always has access to fresh, cool water. Consider adding ice cubes to keep it cooler longer.
Shade

Limit Exercise
: Avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest parts of the day. Opt for early morning
Cooling Mats or Beds
: Invest in a cooling mat or bed designed for pets. These can help regulate their body temperature.
Paddling Pool
: Set up a shallow kiddie pool filled with cool water for your dog to splash around in and cool off.
Frozen Treats
: Make homemade frozen treats using dog-safe ingredients like yogurt or broth.
Wet Towels or Bandanas

Exercise
