Summer heat can be dangerous for dogs, and it’s important to take steps to keep them cool and safe. Provide plenty of water for your dog, and ensure they have access to shade or a cool area to rest. Avoid exercising your dog during the hottest parts of the day and be aware of signs of heatstroke, such as excessive panting, lethargy, and vomiting. You can also help your dog stay cool by providing them with a kiddie pool or cooling mat, and avoid leaving them in a parked car, even for a short amount of time.
