So let’s talk about some quick summer time reminders and some equipment that we dogs can use in the summer. First off, I am not going to even remind you that we shouldn’t be left in a car because it can get too warm. The humans who read this blog are too smart to even be reminded of this.
With regard to the heat, portable water bowls -like the collapsible type - can be really handy when going out for a walk. But don’t forget to also bring a water bottle, too...my human actually has a dog water bottle where the lid can be used as a small cup-sized bowl. It’s perfect.
Another thing about the heat - asphalt can get really hot, so one site I saw suggested those rubber boots that look like balloons (before you put them on). Seems like a good idea in theory ...but I wonder if the rubber would stick to hot asphalt. I guess better the boots than our feet.
We have talked before about sunscreen for us dogs too. And a cooling bandana is a neat idea. We saw that on the web. Those cooling mats also work well. If you have a dog who doesn’t chew....
If you are going boating, a life jacket for Fido is also a must. Sure, many dogs CAN swim - but if you are far off shore, a life jacket is a good idea.
And speaking of a swimming, if you have a dog who likes to swim, unlike me and Einstein - floatable fetch toys and balls are a great idea. That’s for the FG.
As yes, the dog days of summer. Let the good times roll!
Have a good one! Peace and paws up.
