The golden season of sun and fun, Summer! There so are many outdoor activities to experience together such as dog agility, biking, swimming, boating, hiking, road trips, and relaxing evening stroller rides. Essentials for these include a dog bike basket, life jacket, stroller, travel bowl, sunglasses, visors and dog boots to keep paws protected from hot pavement.

The most important thing to watch out for is overheating and dehydration. Dog cooling products like Cooling Vests and Cool Mats will help prevent these detrimental conditions. Learn to watch for the early signs of overheating such as heavy panting, glazed eyes, a rapid pulse and a red or purple tongue. Move immediately to the shade and begin the cool down process.
