So summer's here and my pup is feeling the heat a bit more than I'd like. Does anyone have any tried and true methods for keeping their furry friends cool during these hotter months? I've tried the classic kiddie pool in the backyard, which he loves, but I'm wondering if there's anything else out there that could help. I've also heard of those cooling mats—any good experiences with those?

Also, what about those doggie ice creams? Are they worth the hype or could I just make something similar at home? If you have any DIY recipes, that'd be awesome! 🐾

Looking forward to hearing your tips and tricks. Stay cool out there!

Hey there! Sounds like you're doing a great job keeping your pup cool. 😎 My dog absolutely loves the cooling mats; they're a lifesaver on those scorching days. Just make sure to get one that's the right size for your pup. As for doggie ice creams, they're fun, but you can definitely whip up something at home! Try freezing some plain yogurt with a bit of peanut butter and banana—my dog goes nuts for it.

Another tip is to keep a fan running where your dog hangs out the most, or even try a damp towel for them to lie on. It’s simple but effective. Hope these ideas help keep your furry friend comfy this summer! 🐶

I've been through a few hot summers with my dog, and those cooling mats are fantastic! Just make sure to keep them in the shade so they stay effective longer. As for homemade doggie ice creams, they're a hit at my house! I usually blend some watermelon and freeze it in ice cube trays. It's super refreshing and hydrating for them. 🍉

Another thing that works wonders is a simple DIY misting station. I set up a garden hose with a misting nozzle in a shaded area, and my dog loves running through it. It's a fun way to keep them cool and entertained. Hope these ideas help keep your pup comfy this summer! 🐶
