-Provide plenty of fresh water.🚰
-Avoid walks during the hottest part of the day; stick to shady areas, or walk early in the morning or evening.🐾
-Check the ground with your hand if it's too hot for you, it's too hot for their paws. Booties can be an option, or paw wax! ☀️
-Do not leave them in a parked car. 🚘
-Frozen treats. 🧊
-Cooling mats or vests. 🆒
-Kiddie pools/swimming are great ways to help them beat the heat too!
Quarry Trails Metro Park puts out kayaks/paddle boards every day, and dogs are allowed. Dock diving is a good water-related sport as well! 🚣♂️
