With this heatwave and humidity, it can be hard to make sure your dog is getting enough activity without overheating 🥵☀️ Check out these four easy ideas to get their brain and body moving while keeping cool:
🌡Bust out the kids' favorite sprinkler or turn on your lawn sprinklers and let your dogs romp in the water. Fetch is even more fun in the sprinklers!
🌡 Find a dog-friendly swimming pool or visit one of the Ozarks' many beautiful streams or lakes for a quick dip. Just make sure to bring your dog's life vest if they're not a strong swimmer or they'll be hanging out on the boat!
🌡Use a bowl as a mold to make a big block of ice filled with dog treats or fruits and veggies. Your dog will have a blast licking and digging at the ice to get their snacks!
🌡 Practicing your dog's training gets their brain working and can wear them out almost as much as excercise. Brush up on the basics or learn a new trick while staying cool indoors!
Always make sure to monitor your dog when spending time outdoors and ensure they have free access to fresh drinking water. In this weather, heat stroke can set in extremely quickly, especially in flat-faced breeds like bulldogs. When in doubt, keep them inside.
