Summer is treating us to some stunning days, so it’s timely to remind everyone to consider our dog’s comfort, especially our more senior pups.
☀️ Here are some tips to keep your senior pups cool and comfortable during these hot summer days:
💦Hydration: Ensure access to fresh, cool water at all times. Sometimes adding ice cubes to their water bowl to keep it extra refreshing. 🧊
⛱️ Shade and Cool Spots: Although we often seek a good dose of Vit D ensure there is a shaded spot for your pooch to enjoy. Set up a cozy spot with a pet-friendly cooling mat or a damp towel for them to lie on. 🌳🏖️
⏰ Limit Exercise in Heat: While exercise is important, avoid activities during the hottest parts of the day. Instead, opt for walks early in the morning or later in the evening when temperatures are cooler.
🐾 Protect Those Paws: Opt for walks on grassy areas or below the tide line. Monitor pavement heat by testing with your hand.
