As the temperatures rise, it's not just humans who need to stay cool - our furry family members do too. Dogs are especially vulnerable to heat, and as pet-conscious parents, it’s crucial to ensure they stay safe, comfortable, and healthy in the warmer months. That’s why we’ve put together these tips on how to keep your dog cool and hydrated.
Essential Tips for Keeping Your Dog Cool in Hot Weather
-
Walk Early or Late: Avoid walking your dog between 11 AM and 3 PM, when the sun is strongest. Walk during the cooler hours of early morning or late evening.
-
Provide Fresh Water: Always have a clean water bowl available and add ice cubes to keep it cool.
-
Create Shade: Ensure your dog has access to shaded areas or fans indoors.
-
Splash Around: A small paddling pool is a fun way for your dog to cool off.
- Groom Regularly: Brushing helps remove excess fur and keeps them cool.
-
Frozzys Frozen Yogurt: Treat your dog to our lactose-free frozen yogurt, a healthy, cooling snack.
Things to Avoid During Hot Weather
-
Never Leave Your Dog in a Car: Cars can heat up dangerously fast, even with the windows cracked.
-
Hot Pavements: Test the pavement - if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your dog’s paws.
-
Limit Sun Exposure: Keep your dog out of direct sunlight for long periods.
Signs of Heatstroke in Dogs
As a pet-conscious parent, it's important to know the warning signs of heatstroke. If your dog shows any of these symptoms, act quickly:

If your dog exhibits these symptoms, move them to a cool, shaded area immediately, offer water, and consult your vet for emergency treatment.
