We all know summer can be brutal for humans, so imagine how dogs must feel in the heat. They cannot actually say, “Hey, it’s too hot for me” or “I’m not feeling well,” so it is important to protect your dog from the sun and heat. This is especially true if your dog likes to spend a lot of time outdoors.

Make Sure Your Dog Is Hydrated

First things first, you need to ensure your dog is hydrated. Keep their water bowl filled throughout the day, adding ice as needed. You can also place a water bowl outside, but it is not going to stay cold for long because of the heat. Therefore, it is important to have them come inside to drink cooler water as needed.

Learn When To Put Your Dog Outside

It is essential to learn when to put your dog outside during the summer. For example, it is best to let them play outside and take walks in the morning and evening because the sun is not as hot.
