☀️🐾 Keeping Our Dogs Safe in the Heat! 🐾☀️
With the temperatures set to soar over the next few days, it’s a good time to remind everyone to help their dogs stay safe and comfortable in the heat.
🥵 Avoid walks during the hottest parts of the day
☀️ Also think about humidity as an important factor for exercising, it’s not all about temperature (link in the comments)
💧 Make sure plenty of fresh water is always available
🌳 Seek out shade and cool areas to rest, silver alusheets are amazing to put up in the garden to stay underneath
💨 Fans in the house are perfect for keeping a breeze
🔥 Check pavements before walking – if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws!
🚗 And, of course, never leave dogs in a car, even for a few minutes, travel only if essential and at cooler times
🧊 Frozen treats - water and biscuits, cheese, sausage all frozen in a ziplock bag and then peel the bag off ready for a super licky icepop
As you can see from the photo, our gang have been making the most of the paddle pool to keep cool! 🏊♂️💦 Some were more enthusiastic than others, but everyone appreciates the chance to cool off! 🥵
Every dog has their own favourite way of beating the heat. Some love a paddle pool, others prefer a shady snooze, a frozen treat, or stretching out on the coolest floor they can find! 😎
📸 how are your dogs are keeping cool this week?
Pop a photo in the comments and let us know what your dog’s favourite hot-weather activity is. 🐕☀️💦
Stay safe, stay cool, and give your dogs an extra ice cube from me 🧊 ❤️🐾
