Dogs & Heat: Hot Tips to Cool Down 🐕🦺
Cool with water. 🐾
Bathing your companion is a great way to cool them down on a hot summer day, this can be in a nearby stream or lake on a walk.
Alternatively if there are no natural bodies of water nearby, your furry friend will also find much relief in paddling about in a dog pool or small tub in the garden, and combined with water toys your dog should be more than happy to take a little bath!
Fluid consumption🐾
By panting, our dogs regulates their body temperature. However, the more they pant, the more fluid they lose.
Place several drinking bowls in your home to allow easy access to fresh water. You could also feed your pet wet food in summer to provdide more fluids.
Our more 'cool' tip: It's not just us humans that appreciate a cool ice cream on hot days! Delicious dog ice cream is simple to make at home and provides all important cooling.
Early morning and late night activity 🐾
During peak hours of heat (11am-5pm) you should avoid walking your dog. Asphalt getsextremely hot and can burn pet's paws. The power of the sun can also burn our pet's dense fur.
To decrease chance of injury it is best to take your daily walk in the cooler morning or evening hours. You might want to make swalks a little shorter, and change your route to somewhere with plenty of shade - a park or in the woods for instance.
Cat Tips to Keep your Feline Friends Cool 🐈
Consume fluids 😸
To make sure that your house cat drinks enough fluids during the day you can use the following tricks.
- Place numerous drinking bowls in your home to provide easy access to fresh water.
- Replace your cats usual dry food with wet food that contains more fluids.
Create shade 😸
In the hot season, dark floors and paved paths absorb heat meaning they can burn our four- legged friends' paws. To counteract the heat and make sure that our cats are comfortable, you can lay out cooling mats, put up shaded areas using house hold items like blankets, or even leave one room with the blinds down to prevent the heat from entering.
Ice-cold snacks! 😸
We are not the only ones who enjoy a cool ice cream on hot days! Our four-legged friends do as well! Cat ice cream can easily be made at home and provides a tasty cooling treat for our felines.
You can find yummy recipes for pet-safe ice cream in our zooplus magazine.
But even if the temptation is great, cats should enjoy their cat ice cream slowly and not too cold. Let the ice cream thaw a little in advance.
