⭐️HOW TO KEEP DOGS COOL⭐️
Simple ways to help your dog stay happy and healthy in warm weather.
1 - Walk early, late or not at all
Avoid the hottest part of the day. Check the pavement with your back of your hand (10seconds) -if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for their paws. No dog has died missing a walk.
2 - Create a shaded area
Use an umbrella, canopy or trees to provide shade and a cool resting spot.
3 - Offer a cooling mat
A cooling mat helps regulate your dog's temperature and provides a comfy place to relax.
4 - Provide a paddling pool
A paddling pool is a great way for dogs to cool off and have fun.
5 - Groom regularly
Brush your dog regularly to remove loose fur and help with air circulation.
6 - Offer cool, fresh water
Always make sure fresh, clean water is available and easily accessible.
7 - Don’t use ice in water bowls, this creates the dog to work hard to warm himself up. Frozen treats like a lick matt is fine!
8 - Don’t hose dogs down and then let them outside. Dogs with undercoats, the water stays trapped and can heat up making your dog heat up more!
Hope this helps you all! Stay cool and stay safe 🐶🐾🩷💙
