It's that time of year where we need to remind anyone with a long haired dog NOT TO SHAVE YOUR DOG - Yes, its hot "outside" and yes you have to walk your dog before sunrise and after sunset, but NO you must not shave your dog. You will just make matters worse for them, they need their coat.

☀️ Is it too hot to walk your dog?

With temperatures climbing across the UAE, it's easy to forget just how hot pavements can get for our dogs' paws. If it's uncomfortable for your hand, it's uncomfortable for them too! 🐾
In this quick video, Neil demonstrates the simple 5-Second Paw Test — a quick check that can help prevent painful burns and make sure your dog stays safe during the warmer months.
It's easy, takes seconds, and could save your dog a lot of discomfort.

🐶 "We're having a dog instead of children... it'll be much easier."

Will it though? 👀

No school runs? Sure.
No teenage arguments? Hopefully.

But dogs still need time, training, patience, financial commitment, routine, and someone who'll be there for them every single day for the next 10–15 years. In many ways, they're completely dependent on us for their entire lives.

At Homely Petz, we've seen the heartbreak that happens when people underestimate what dog ownership really involves. The good news? When you're truly ready, sharing your life with a dog can be one of the most rewarding relationships you'll ever have.
This blog explores why getting a dog isn't the "easy option" many people think it is.
