If your dog is overheating and showing signs of fatigue and panting, you should immediately find some shade and rehydrate him. Do not, under any circumstances, leave your dog in a car on a hot day, no matter how open the windows may be.

CHECKLIST FOR KEEPING YOUR DOG COOL

The water in your dog’s dish should be cold, and you should always bring some along.
Take walks when it’s cooler in the morning or evening; hydrate their Pure food more than usual.
Set up a miniature swimming area for your dog.
You should let your dog into the kitchen.
Put up some fans and wrap your dog in a wet bandana to keep him cool.
Whip up some frozen treats at home.

A COOL, REFRESHING DRINK

You can do this by giving your dog water that has been chilled in the fridge or by adding ice cubes and waiting for them to melt before serving.

Since ice cubes aren’t good for canines, you should let them melt before giving them any.

TAKE WATER EVERYWHERE YOU GO

You should always carry water with you, but it’s especially important to remember to do so when the weather is hot.

Do the same for your dog, offering it to them every half an hour; it’s better for them to turn it down than to be dehydrated and you to be unaware of it.

MAKE SURE THERE’S PLENTY OF SHADE

We’ve all got a sun-loving dog in our lives, but prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays can be harmful.

Make sure your dog has a cool, shady place to lie down and relax in the garden, like under an umbrella.

DON’T WALK IN PRIME TIME

When exposed to the sun all day, the pavement can become dangerously hot to the touch. Walking your dog during the middle of the day, when the temperature is at its peak, can be extremely painful for its paws.

Their paws can’t handle the heat if your hand can’t. Imagine yourself walking barefoot on a scorching beach. You shouldn’t spend more than 5 minutes on that.

Methods for ensuring your dog stays cool this summer

When the temperature outside rises, your dog will thank you for these tips.
You can tell if it’s too hot for your dog if you can’t keep your hand on the ground for 5 seconds.

You and your dog will be more comfortable as the air and ground temperatures drop in the morning and evening.

ADD MORE WATER TO THEIR PURE FOOD THAN USUAL

This is a great alternative to forcing your dog to drink in order to prevent dehydration.

If you want to convert Pure into a healthy, varied meal for your dog, you can add as much or as little water as you like. Although some canines may prefer a more liquid consistency, this chow is still delicious.

PADDLING POOL FOR A DOGGY PADDLE

Dogs and kids alike can cool off in a paddling pool on a hot summer day. You should provide your dog unrestricted access to the pool so it can enjoy a doggy paddle whenever it pleases.

This will make it so they can control their body temperature with minimal outside intervention. An enjoyable summer activity is going swimming.

GIVE YOUR DOG ACCESS TO THE KITCHEN

On hot days, you may want to consider allowing your dog access to the kitchen, if you don’t already.

The cool tiles are great for when your dog wants to stretch out and cool off.

When it’s hot and you’re trying to get comfortable under a duvet, it’s not easy. Now think about how your dog must feel, with their fuzzy coat on at all times. It will be a treat to take a nap on the icy floor.

HAVE FANS PLACED AROUND THE HOUSE

Even if you don’t own a dog, you should still read this. In the summer, it’s important to keep the house cool by turning on the air conditioning and installing fans.

GIVE YOUR DOG A COLD, WET BANDANA TO WEAR

We took to social media and enquired of our patrons what they do to ensure that their canine companion stays cool throughout the hotter months. Pure client Karen says she uses chilly, damp cotton bandanas tied over her dogs’ necks in addition to their collars.

The dog will appreciate the relief from the heat and you will have a terrific idea for keeping them comfortable. You should also provide them with water to drink.

MAKE FROZEN HOMEMADE TREATS

We freeze Kefir in little containers with mixed raspberries or blueberries, said Ruby, a Pure client who answered to our question on social media. Honey, if desired, may also be added. Ruby loves to lick the tubs, and I generally get to do that for her.

Here’s an excellent method for making your own peanut butter ice lollies at home. It’s ideal for relieving your dog’s heat, and it frees you from guilt when you indulge in a frozen treat because your dog can’t have any.

RECAP

You may still enjoy the outdoors with your dog even in the heat of summer, as there are many methods for keeping your dog cool.

To avoid any problems, keep a close eye on your dog and remember the sun might be harmful. Because of this, you will be the first to notice any symptoms of heatstroke in your dog.
