Our lovely fur babies love to bask in the sun just as much as we do, and they would do it for hours on end if left to their own devices.
From making sure they have plenty of water, to providing a shaded area to relax in, there are a few things you can do to ensure your dog is protected during heatwaves.
One of the best ways to keep your dog safe during heatwaves is to create a routine for walks in the early hours of the morning and during later hours of the evening.
If you want to spend a day at the beach with your furry best friend, make sure you have a tent or a large umbrella with you that can offer your dog protection from the sun and a shaded place to take a break.
Investing in a cooling pad for your dog is another great way to keep your dog safe during heatwaves.
Although it seems unimportant at first sight, grooming is actually an essential part of keeping your dog comfortable during heatwaves.
Heat waves and hot pavement can spell disaster for your dog’s paws. Dog paw pads are just as exposed as their noses and should be protected.
Having water with you is essential in keeping your dog safe during heatwaves. Your dog can become dehydrated quite quickly during hot summer days.
Another great way to make sure your dog stays hydrated is to offer them ice cubes as an alternative to water. This treat will help them regulate their body temperature while also keeping them hydrated.
