🥵🥶 The heat is here and many of my students are asking about products and methods to keep their pups as cool as possible while doing K9 Nose Work classes, lessons, and events 🥶🐶 Here's a list of some of my top picks for vehicle and travel gear that can help keep your four-legged friend happy, comfortable and relaxed. 🐾

https://connectingwithdogs.com/recommended-gear -and-travel-gear

‼️⚠️This list does not include everything your individual pet may need. ALWAYS use your best judgement — temperatures that are "just fine" for one dog may be way too hot for another dog. Consult with your veterinary professional when in doubt to ensure your best friend's health and safety are always put first.
