Best ways to cool off your dogs in the Summer

Ohh Summer time!

I don’t Know about you but I absolutely love Summer time. No school, longer days, BBQ’s, swimming and fun Summer adventures! But sometimes the hot tempertures can be very uncomfortable for both humans and our furry family members.

Did you know that the average temperture for dogs is around 103 – 102 degrees? That means hot days are even more uncomfortable for our four-legged best friends. So it is very important to take extra caution during the Summer. Remember the ground is HOT on their paws so if you are going to walk your dog make sure to do it either during the early morning or the evening when it is cooler.

Or you can take them to the park because the grass may be cooler than the pavement. You might even buy protective booties so your dog’s paws can be protected from the burning hot ground.

Never leave your dog in the car! Dogs can easily overheat.

Here are some things you can do to help your fur babies enjoy the summer.

1: Consider buying them a kiddie pool to splash around and cool down. Maybe add a few fun pool toys.

2: Try adding ice cubes to their water.

3: Keep them inside as much as possible.

One of my favorite ways to cool down during hot day’s is with ice cream. I bet your dogs will love it too!

So here’s a great homemade peanut butter and jelly dog ice cream recipe for your furry friends to enjoy!
