Never, ever leave your dog in the car, temperatures can increase very quickly and can be deadly for your furend.
Make sure your dog has unlimited access to fresh water. Like humans dogs need more fresh water at hot summer days.
Make sure your dog has access to shade when outside or keep and open door for them to get inside when it is too hot.
Take walks during early morings or a while after sunset.
When walking, try to stay off of hot surfaces (like asphalt, concrete ) because it can be harmful to your furend’s paws.
If you think it’s hot outside, it’s even hotter for your pet (try to go out with a winter coat at summer) – make sure your pet has a means of cooling off like shaded area, water baths etc.
Keep your dog free of external parasites (fleas, ticks) and heart worms. These can be more harmful at hot days then any other time. Consult with your Vet for best options.
Consider clipping or shaving dogs with long coats (talk to your veterinarian first to see if it’s appropriate for your pet), and apply sunscreen to your furend’s skin if has a thin coat or after shaving.
Playing with your dogs always fun. Especially with OoMaLoo dog toys but in hot summer days prefer to play inside or cool time of days. Also watch your furend carefully for any sign of exhaustion. They can over push themselves to please you.
