After the last few days of scorching weather, I thought it would be good to offer advice on keeping your dog cool in warm weather. Don't walk your dog unless you would be comfortable going out barefoot with a coat on (this is how it feels for them)! If they get bored during the day then freeze dog treats/ kibble for them to keep them occupied (this isn't dangerous unless they are experiencing heat stroke). Don't give them excessive amounts as ice can damage their teeth but generally is safe to use. Dampen a towel and place it on them (wrap around the stomach if you can) as this is an effective way to bring down their body temperature. Remember that dogs in this country are not used to hot weather so let's take extra precautions to keep them as cool as possible!
