Summer Must Haves: Help Your Dog Beat The Heat!

Summer is in full swing – Don’t let the rising temperatures cramp your pup’s style! Summer’s longer days leave ample time for outdoor fun, but sweltering heat can really wear on your furry friend. Here are our must have products for staying cool and avoiding the dangers the summer presents presents:

Dehydration: Keep your dog well hydrated when playing outside. Our Handi-Drink for dogs is an easy way to transport water on the go – It’s handheld, compact design is a water bottle and drinking tray in one!

Heat Exhaustion: Our Cool Pup Dog Coat is made of a lightweight, heat releasing fabric and has re-freezable cooling pack inserts to cool your dog off in extra hot weather. We also have a Cool Pup Dog Bed that stores cooling packs to give your canine companion a comfy and frosty place to rest his head.

Water and Boating Safety: Not all dogs are good swimmers - If your fur baby plans on taking a dive into deeper waters, our dog life preservers will keep them afloat and visible, whether at the pool or on a boat. These flotation devices have dual layers of flotation material and quick grab handles on the back, for emergency rescue.

Sunburn: Our pooches are vulnerable to sunburn just like humans! Dogs with short hair, light colored hair, and dogs with shorter legs (due to sunlight reflected from the ground) are most susceptible to getting sun burnt. Dog t-shirts and dog tanks are perfect for blocking out harmful UV rays and shirts in lighter colors reflect the sunlight better, and are better for keeping your dog cool.

Eye Strain: The sun’s bright rays are just as harmful to your pup’s eyes as they are to humans. Block out those dangerous UV rays with our Doggles ILS dog goggles and our K9 Optix dog sunglasses. Their shatterproof lenses give 100% UV protection and were designed explicitly for dogs, ensuring a proper fit!

Water Fun: A dip in the pool always cools you off! If your furry friend loves water, our Splash About Dog Pool is a must have. These portable dog pools are easy to carry, simple to fill and empty, and are made of extra tough PVC for  long time use. 

With a little planning and preparation you can keep your four legged friend (and yourself!) guarded from the dangers summer heat threatens and enjoy summer to the fullest!
