So...it's going to be a warm few days! 🌞♨️🌡
💧 Only exercise early in the morning and late in the evening when it is cooler, don’t let them run and reduce the time out
🐾 Some dogs may not need walks at all depending on their condition and sensitivity to the heat. Extra care to be given to braciocephalic breeds, the elderly and very young dogs
💧Extra water bowls available inside and outside
🚗 Only travel with them if really necessary
🏠Keep them in a cool room during the day, only short, supervised periods outside
❄️Try making ice cakes from empty ice cream tubs, fill with water and add some apple, carrot or dog treats and freeze
🐕Wet towels on tiled floor or in the shade outside for them to lie on NOT WET TOWELS DIRECTLY ON THE DOG
❗️Be more vigilant with health conditions, how’re minor. Any vomiting or diarrhoea can be much more serious in hot weather
🐾Keep on top of your dogs coat, make sure the dead hair is removed by brushing to allow air flow to the skin
If in doubt the fastest way to cool is to POUR LOTS OF COLD WATER over the dog💦💦💦💦💦
Please feel free to add your own tips that you have found useful and enjoy the weather safely with your dog 🐕💧☀️
