How to Keep Cool During the Dog Days of August
The heat has been tough on everyone this summer, dogs included. Here are some ideas to keep your dog cool and still have fun. Walking your dog in the heat can be a challenge. Try taking walks early in the morning and after the sun goes down. If the pavement is hot, it will not only make your dog uncomfortable, it can burn their paw pads. If you can't walk in the woods, apply some Musher's Secret before each walk or when you're at the beach. It's a natural way to protect the paw pads. When it's hot outside, Do Not leave your dog unattended in the car. Your dog could suffer and die from heat stroke and dehydration in just 10 minutes. A new Pennsylvania Law protects pets locked in hot cars. Law enforcement officers and first responders can now break into vehicles to rescue animals. Although you may miss them, your pets will be happier, healthier and cooler if you just leave them at home. If you kennel your dog, make sure the kennel is in the coolest part of your house and always supply cool fresh water. When you get home, reward your dog with some Boss Dog frozen yogurt or some Bear & the Rat frozen greek yogurt. We have both available in the freezer at. Lastly, get your dog a refreshing bath at Larry's Laundromutt!
