To keep your cat hydrated on those hot summer days you can:

1. Place multiple water bowls around your home to ensure easy access to fresh water.

2 You can supplement your feline's water intake by mixing wet food with dry food. Also you can change your cat's diet to only wet food during the summer months.

During the hot season, dark floor and asphalted paths heat up and make it difficult for your pet to walk. Keep the ground cool by laying out light coloured or moistened blankets. Cooling mats and shaded spots under an umbrella are also great at keeping your furry friend chilled. 

It's not only us that enjoy a cool ice cream on hot days- our four-legged friends do too! Cat ice cream is simple to make at home and provides a tasty cooling treat for your cat. You can find delicious recipes for this icy treat in our zooplus Magazine. However, cats should enjoy their ice cream slowly and not too cold. Therefore, we recommend letting the ice cream thaw slightly before serving. 

Bathing is a simple way for your furry friend to cool down in the hot weather. Whether this is a lake or a pool in the garden- a nice cool bath will keep your dog chilled and happy this summer. You could even add some water toys to maximise their fun in the sun!

Dogs regulate their body temperature by panting. However, the more they pant, the more fluid they lose. 

To help keep your pooch hydrated, place multiple bowls of water around your home to ensure they have easy access to water. Additionally, you can also help to keep your dog hydrated by providing them with wet food. You can either feed your dog a mixture of dry and wet food or solely wet food!

Another tip: treat your four-legged friend to a delicious dog ice cream. This is simple to make at home and provides a tasty cooling treat for your dog.

Avoid taking your four-legged friend out on walks during the hot midday hours. The pavement heats up to scorching temperatures making it difficult for your dog to walk on and the sun beats down on your pet's fur. Moving your dog's walks to the early morning or late evening will help them keep cool this summer. Also, shorter distanced walks can also help, especially in shady woods and parks. 

Homemade dog ice cream or a frozen licking mat covered in your dog's favourite treat are both great ways to help your dog cool off. 

Dogs seek cool spaces during hotter days where they can relax easily. You can provide your dog with a cooling mat which will help them cool down. This is a great option if your home lacks cools spots!
